Bruce Tippette's setting of the Johnson poem is gentle and graceful, capturing the music-themed text. The piano accompaniment is supportive yet has an orchestral quality that moves with the dynamic vocal contrasts and melodic phrases. “No nights are dark, no days are long, while in my heart there dwells a song I softly sing.”.
