Commissioned by CODA (Choral Organizations & Developing Artists), composer Richard Burchard selected a poem by Christina Rossetti that celebrates spring in a more pensive way. Speaking poetically of how spring passes ultimately into death, Burchard's music is thoughtful and soothing. Accompanied by piano and French Horn, the piece is primarily SAB, with only slight TB divisions at the very end.
