This is perhaps the greatest poem by Stephen Spender (1909-1995). Permission to use
the text was kindly granted by the Estate of Stephen Spender. The music is challenging,
but firmly tonal and hardly intimidating to any auditioned and well rehearsed chorus.
All my works are written in Sibelius, so fully professional scores are available, with samples
in PDF and mp3 audio.
Please have a look at all my choral works on my ChoralNet page, and thank you for your interest.
