Description: With a simple melody inspired by children's songs, “All That Could Never Be Said” is a setting of Sara Teasdale's poem “In the End.” Showcasing her signature pairing of nihilism and pastoral beauty, the poem is an exploration of regret: it suggests that the consequences of our inaction are final and absolute. There are no second chances to speak up or to act; all our missed opportunities will be lost to us until we're reunited with them in death.
Description: To Shiver the Sky is an oratorio about the history of flight, and mankind's quest to conquer the heavens. Told through the words of 11 of our greatest astronomers, inventors, visionaries and pilots, it charts our relentless need to explore the universe, defy our earthly bonds, reach for the face of God, and ultimately claim our place among the stars. It is sung in English, Latin, Italian, German, French, Polish, Russian, and Sanskrit. This is the fifth movement of the work entitled, “Astronomy”.
