This setting of Charles Baudelaire's iconic poem captures the "luxury" and "voluptuousness" of Edna St. Vincent Millay's radiant translation. The six-part texture allows for thick, evocative chords in Dole's jazz-influenced harmonic world. Slowly evolving chord progressions paint a picture of a person truly in love with another, asking that they go on a long journey to explore that love.
