composer: Alice Hietala
text: Christina Rossetti
Duration: 3:45
SATB, piano, oboe or B flat clarinet
Set to a poem by Christina Rossetti, this piece should be kept simple, honest and free. Performers should refrain from any gushing romanticism, however some rubato and freedom in the line, especially in the oboe solo, is appropriate. A gorgeous addition to the mixed choir repertoire.
