Awake Her Not

This setting of the poignant and evocative Christina Rossetti poem Dream Land paints dark and brooding images of shadows, stars, and sunless rivers. The center point of the poem is the sad singing of the nightingale which the composer underlines by the sound of the flute. This is a companion piece to I Am (G. Schirmer, 50600076).
