SSATBB choir unaccompanied - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.1.3479-E Composed by Dean M. Estabrook. Funeral. 10 pages. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3479-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3479-E). English.Emily Dickinson (1830–1886), who studied astromomy, wrote this poem just a few years after Urbain Le Verrier (1811–1887), the well known astronomer, gained great respect for identifying the celestial coordinates for Neptune. This feat provided Dickinson with a lovely, albeit sad metaphor for her final stanza in this brief but poignant work. The music, mostly homophonic, gently evokes the bittersweet meaning of the words.
