This well-known poem by Longfellow metaphorically paints the calming qualities of the night. What Richard Burchard does musically is enrapturing. The listener is immersed sonically into the poem even deeper. It is an obvious concert closer but stands well at other times too. Eight-part a cappella choir and tenor soloist will work best with advanced high school, college or community choirs. Medium difficulty.

Only Shakespeare commands words well enough to discuss growing old in a flattering way. Composed in primarily homphonic lines, the text comes through easily. The music is as lovely as the poem, with optional directions to perform the work in a double choir formation. Excellent for concert and festival use.
