Voicing: SATB Divisi, Violin, Piano with Opt. String Ensemble
Robert Sieving (Composer)
Carl Sandburg (Author)
While the word monotone is part of the title Carl Sandburg's poem, it is not indicative of the scope of this piece! Sieving has created a dramatic choral realization of this poem that revels in the beauty of nature. The setting is very much a sensitive choral tone poem with soaring melodies and an artistic accompaniment.
