For SSATBB Voices, a cappella
Text by Emily Dickinson
Music by Christopher Tin
Emily Dickinson's poem on the fragility of nature, as well as our own hand in its destruction, finds a elegiac tone in this original piece from "Baba Yetu" composer Christopher Tin. Palo Alto High School, Tin's alma mater, commissioned this deeply melodic composition in celebration of their centennial in 2018.
