La Mort des Amants, for SATB div., is a piece composed for the French poem La Mort des Amants by Charles Baudelaire, a poem which answers the prompt of a lover telling her love I'm scared of this love, to which the poet replies We will have great memories, and our love will be like mirrors and flames, a constant connection of life and happiness. But there will come a time when you will die, and slowly but surely, my mirror will tarnish and my flame will die away. But at that moment, when my mirror is completely tarnished and my flame is nothing but ashes, an angel will swoop me up and bring me back to you. This piece's suspensions represent the flames, while the constant passing of motifs represent the mirrors. I urge you to enjoy singing this piece.
