The Wayfarer

This setting captures the mixture of despair, tenderness and nostalgia found in one of Sara Teasdale's darker poems. “The Wayfarer” speaks of love as a “sad, unwelcome guest,” a sentiment that the composer has captured expertly in his music. A wonderfully dramatic accompaniment will take a skilled pianist. Singers with the utmost expression will bring this unique setting to life. Duration: ca. 5:15
