Dedicated to 'sisters everywhere', this three-movement work combines a number of themes through the poetry of Sara Teasdale. The first movement, 'Sister of the Sky', focuses on the morning in early spring, with the voices ebbing and flowing like Teasdale's birds swept out to sea. The central movement, 'Fearless Heart', is alive with movement, reflecting the energy of the season, while the final movement, 'Sing before Night', calmly flows into evening.
