Sara Teasdale's poem is the inspiration for this dramatic concert work which relies heavily on the tumultuous piano and cello accompaniment to convey the deep feeling of the text. The opening section is dark and stormy, but the sun comes out in the final section with serene moments of mostly unaccompanied choral harmonies. "For with my singing I can make a refuge for my spirit's sake, a house of shining words, to be my fragile immortality." 11348283 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75 D Responsibility—Mark Sirett.
