Themes of love and loss are reflected in the text of this song cycle consisting of two movements for soprano and piano. Translated from the work of Chinese poetess Hsueh T'ao (768-831), the intense emotion of this text is communicated through the dramatic flow of the melodic line. Supporting the vocal line, the piano lends its own haunting melody, making this song cycle a duet of voice and piano. Performers and audiences are enthralled by this challenging work. $7.50
