Commissioned for the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus (Philip Barnes, Artistic Director) in 2008, this luxuriant six-voice stanzaic part-song sets an evocative love poem by Civil War author, Sidney Lanier. Colorful descriptions of a seascape sunset (along with references to Ancient Egyptian culture) are presented by Lanier as a powerful metaphor of human love.
