Early Winter Tree

A breathtaking setting of Sara Teasdale's poem "Leaves".  The slow, reflective tempo lends itself beautifully to the gentle dissonances, the multiple glissandos, and the delicate text painting.  Using a unique harmonic language that unifies the work, this is a stunning selection for any program.  Can be accompanied by either piano or harp.  The optional harp part is available for download on the Closer Look page.
