About this arrangement

SATB choir and Piano - Intermediate SKU: EC.8804 Composed by Stephen Chatman. 21st Century. Octavo. Duration 2 minutes, 30 seconds. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #8804. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.8804). UPC: 600313488047. English.Sara Teasdale’s poem, The Mystery, depicts deep lasting love - “Your eyes drink of me” and “We have long been lovers”. It also raises a question - “Can I ever know you / Or you know me?” Stephen Chatman’s expressive setting begins with a unison melody, supported by modulating harmonies in the piano accompaniment, and evolves toward four-part voices. The middle section, featuring rising vocal lines in imitative counterpoint, precedes a return to the initial melody. One of a set of six of Teasdale's love songs.
