| Description: |
| A lush 6-minute piece for TTBB choir and string quartet, this is the first of two related settings I have composed of this wonderful text by Elizabeth Bishop about the physicality of the human response to music. The accompanying audio file is a performance given by the commissioning choir, the Vancouver Men's Chorus, with a quartet of Vancouver string players, at a concert celebrating my 50th birthday. |
