Music by Joel Haertling and Stephen Foster. This is a setting-to-film of a “collage” of Stephen Foster phrases by composer Joel Haertling. The recurring musical themes and melancholia of Foster refer to “loss of love” in the popular “torch song” mode; but the film envisions a re-awakening of such senses-of-love as children know, and posits (along a line of words scratched over picture) the whole psychology of waiting.
