Too Solemn for Day (2005)

art song for voice (D4-G5) and piano

Poem by William Sydney Walker

Duration: 3:00

Commissioned by Michelle Cha

Notes

This song was commissioned by soprano Michelle Cha while we were both students at Ohio Northern University. Walker’s poem is simple, elegant, and sweet - I tried to echo that in the music.
