There Will Be Stars

Description

This perhaps lesser-known text by Sara Teasdale is set in a dazzling and expressive concert work by Douglas E. Wagner. The rich, lush vocal lines and countermelodies build to a powerful climax before resolving in a soft, expressive ending. Reflecting on the enduring nature of the stars compared with the fleetingness of human life, this piece makes a wonderful concert closer or end-of-year programming option.
