LADEN (SATB) Wallace De Pue set music
to A. E. Housman’s haunting poem:With rue my heart is laden, for golden friends I
had,for many a rose-lipped maiden and many a
light-foot lad.By brooks too broad for leaping, the light-foot
lads are laid.The rose-lipped maids are sleeping, in fields
where roses fade.This piece is somber in nature and provides an
excellent contrast to a program of up-tempo
compositions. This music is as pensive and
delicate as the highly emotional text.Vocal ranges are: Soprano: C1–g2; Alto: g–c2;
Tenor: G1–g2; Bass: G–D1. Medium
difficulty. The recording is from a live
performance. Duration, 1:53. You may
