This Grade 2 original work was inspired by the tender poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale. Gentle phrases capture the wistful hope the poet felt as she contemplated the steadfast stars that burn steadily as long ago even as the world changed below. The lyrical melody provides developing players opportunities to work on tone, slurs, and expressive playing with one easy key change from D major to G major. A shift from major to minor tonality reflects the bittersweet stanzas that lament the loss of youthful dreams amidst the turmoil of life, even while admiring the faithful beauty of the celestial constellations. The dreamy piece evokes images of shimmering stars in the cold December night, with shadows shaken on the snow, offering a tranquil winter concert selection.This Grade 2 original work was inspired by the tender poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale.

He rides a horse as black as night, and in his wake cold winds blanket the world with ice and snow. The visual imagery created in this exceptional composition for beginning students is magnificent.

The William ButlerYeats poem, When you are old and grey, speaks of the memory, in old age, of love and its loss. The rich double-chorus texture recalls the polychoral motet, and the piece’s ending, an extended treatment of the word stars, brings the cycle to a wistful close. SSAA/SSAA, a cappella Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.
