Sally Lamb McCune, Henry W Longfellow
SSAA and Piano
A classic poem of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the traditional "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" intertwine in this free-flowing ballad that centers on the fragility of life and the persistence of time. An undulating eighth note accompaniment throughout supports the simple choral lines. This is the third movement from the composer's choral trilogy, "The Sadness of the Sea" (45/1151R).
