This sensitive setting of the well-known Elizabethan poem utilizes contemporary harmonies and a tightly knit choral fabric to exude emotion. Two river-themed ostinati and cascading sixteenth notes in the accompaniment aid in forward motion and enhance the textual imagery. This gem is filled with abundant teaching opportunities for dynamic expression and artistic phrasing.
