Sunset - Eugene Rogers Choral Series

Commissioned by Jerry Blackstone for the University of Michigan Chamber Choir, Sunset captures the image-rich poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dunbar's poem captures the familiar and solemn atmosphere that we call "dusk" or "end of day" while composer Knaggs evokes a bit of the mystery and nostalgia into the cosmic wonders that become visible during and after the setting of the sun.
