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.
