Sara Teasdale’s poem, Oh day of fire and sun, suggests a loud, fast musical setting. The syncopated homo-phonic choral texture, with high tessituras, exudes drama and excitement; it balances the expansive gestures of the piano accompaniment. Vivid images like “Lifting into the sky” and “Diving into the sea” inspire soaring, energetic vocal lines. One of a set of six of Teasdale's love songs.
