Description
This octavo contains four settings of the poems by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933). The four poems in this octavo are: “Life Has Loveliness to Sell,” “To-Night,” “Dusk in June,” and “I Would Live in Your Love.” The piece is recorded in its entirety on CD-07.
“To-Night” is given a simple and brief tratment, though it begins in canonic fashion. The second verse achieves its magic with subtle but perfectly placed duple rhythms that unfold (“luminous” and the final “to-night”) against the predominantly gentle lilt in triple meter that precedes them.
