Departure (2016)


Duration: approx. 4 minutes.


Departure uses polytonality and changing modalities to provoke different images and reflections of the short, highly evocative poem by Anna Akhmatova.


Range - C4 to G5


Departure


Although this land is not my own,

I will remember its inland sea

and the waters that are so cold

the sand as white

as old bones, the pine trees

strangely red where the sun comes down.

 

I cannot say if it is our love,

or the day, that is ending.

 

-Anna Akhamatova
