Come To Me In Dreams

for SATB choir

Caroline Mallonee · Come to Me In Dreams

This poignant setting of a poem by Christina Rossetti is dedicated to the memory of Michael Friedman, a dear friend, songwriter, lyricist, and composer, who died too young.
The opening two notes (C#-D), at first soft and pensive, lengthen to a three-note motive (C#-D-F#) that is woven into the texture of the six-minute piece, a mediation on life and death that is at once intimate and expansive.
