About this arrangement

SATB choir and Piano - Intermediate SKU: EC.8801 Composed by Stephen Chatman. 21st Century. Octavo. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #8801. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.8801). UPC: 600313488016. English.The opening lines, “Listen, I love you. Do not turn your face / Nor touch me.”, reflect the somber feelings encompassing Sara Teasdale’s poem. Paired voices initially express contrapuntal melodic lines enhanced by underlying harmony and slow syncopation in the piano accompaniment. The middle and final sections, imbued with sad words such as “let me ease my heart,” “with broken wing” and “Forget that I am speaking,” evolve beautifully within contrasting tonal regions, supported by undulating keyboard arpeggios. One of a set of six of Teasdale's love songs. Duration: 2:00.
