When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read … and bending down beside the glowing bars, murmur a little sadly how love fled and paced upon the mountains overhead, and hid his face amid a crowd of stars. Sensitive vocal lines and embracing harmonies highlight and enhance the subtle nuances of this beloved poem by William Butler Yeats. A deeply emotional and highly musical experience for performers and audiences alike.

Composed by John Newell. 21st Century,Contemporary. 14 pages. Abierto Music #884670. Published by Abierto Music (A0.1294289).

A new setting of William Butler Yeats’ great poem. It arose from a memory he had of his childhood while walking along Fleet Street in London in 1888: “I had still the ambition, formed in Sligo in my teens, of living in imitation of Thoreau on Innisfree, a little island in Lough Gill…� The poem is a powerful expression of Yeats’ desire for a life of peace, simplicity and being close to nature. This work (SSATBB) is intended for advanced choral ensembles. For more information about my work visit www.johnnewellmusic.com.
