The Falling Star

for mixed voices, a cappella

A short setting of Teasdale’s poem for eight voices. 

TEXT

I saw a star slide down the sky,
Blinding the north as it went by,
Too burning and too quick to hold,
Too lovely to be bought or sold,
Good only to make wishes on
And then forever to be gone
—Sara Teasdale

Keeping as they do to the style of the period, they […]
