about

"New England Folk Song" was written in collaboration with local songwriter Sigrid Sibley to musically embody the unique rural and urban character that exists in New England from the old stonewalled hill-farms of the country to the modern cities of the coast and the large amount of wilderness in between.

Clifford Cameron is a Maine-based pianist and composer with a particular fondness for improvised music. He obtained his Bachelors in Composition and Jazz Performance from The New School in NYC. His music consists of a merging of natural themes and settings with contemporary music. His compositions have premiered at various venues throughout New York and abroad from Bruno Walter Hall at Lincoln Center to the International Jazz Festival in Bern, Switzerland and Croatia.

Lyrics by Sigrid Sibley

Where the stonewalls meets the sea and
Mist eases up through barren trees
Many years spent in wandering band
To return but a stranger in familiar land
Gone, gone away
Is the plow from the field
The cows from the pasture
The farmer’s yield
Gone from the valley
Is the girl I did love
And swore she did not to return
Gone far away is my home
