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.
