Voicing & Instruments SATB Chorus and Piano
Composer/Arranger Trotta, Michael John
This piece may be performed as part of a collection of four Whitman settings under the master title, This Is Thy Hour. Understated elegance is the hallmark of this movement; the music reflects the simplicity of the text. A legato, unison line is introduced which is treated in canon in the middle section, which is eventually restated in the original key.
