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)
