Voicing: SSAA Chorus unaccompanied
By Stephen Chatman
The SATB version of this piece was commissioned by Marietta College Choir, Marietta, Ohio, Daniel Monek, Director. The poetry of Sara Teasdale is a favorite choice for Stephen Chatman. Similar in sound world and mood to his setting of The Tree of Song by the same poet, the composer paints another Teasdale poem about love and death with sweeping melodies and rich harmonies.
