Ešenvalds' setting of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem includes moments of dramatic and exclamatory questioning, of flowing passages denoting the enjoyment in life, and softer moments of calm contemplation. He uses the crystal-like sound of metallophones played by some of the singers to represent the unchanging flow of time. It was premiered at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, London, on 21 July 2018, performed by the Proms Youth Choir and conducted by Simon Halsey.
