About this arrangement

(SATB divisi) SKU: HL.48025204 Movement X from The Lost Birds. Composed by Christina Rossetti, Christopher Tin, and Emily Dickinson. BH Secular Choral. Collection, Concert, Festival, Poetry. Octavo. Duration 250 seconds. Boosey & Hawkes #M051486052. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48025204). ISBN 9781705189429. UPC: 196288125129. 6.75x10.5x0.036 inches.“I Shall Not See the Shadows” is based on Christina Rossetti's poem “When I Am Dead My Dearest.” It portrays death at its most indifferent--unnoticed, unheralded, unremembered. It suggests that forgetting is a form of extinction, too--that the finality of species lies not in the death of its last remaining members, but in the failure to preserve their memory.
