8.5 x 11 inches. On Thought In Harness Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

In Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem, "On Thought in Harness," a falcon's timidness reflects our own reluctance to embrace freedom and risk. Elizabeth Alexander's rapturous setting of Millay's words gradually ascends into extravagant flight, with contemplative solos, a lustrous piano part, and soaring vocal lines.
Commissioned by Cedarburg High School Choir; Darciann Ketter conductor (Cedarburg, WI)

Text: My falcon to my wrist Returns From no high air. I sent her toward the sun that burns Above the mist; But she has not been there. Her talons are not cold; her beak Is closed upon no wonder; Her head stinks of its hood, her feathers reek Of me, that quake at the thunder. Degraded bird, I give you back your eyes forever, ascend now whither you are tossed; Forsake this wrist, forsake this rhyme; Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, But climb. From Wine From These Grapes, copyright 1934, 1962 by Edna St. Vincent Millay and Norma Millay Ellis. All rights reserved.
