The Silver Buckle On Mozart's Shoe - Oath on the First Anniversary - Kristina Boerger - 3-Part Treble Boosey & Hawkes Octavo

This is the last in the trilogy of settings of verses from a collection that Sarah White calls her Widow Poems, written after the sudden death of a lover. Each of the three represents a different stage in the arc of the poet's grief. In this one, written on the first anniversary of the beloved's death, a trace of whimsy has entered White's language and the music masterfully captures this same emotion.
