This piece, based on Christina Rossetti's poem When I Am Dead, My Dearest, portrays death at its most indifferent - unnoticed, unheralded, unremembered. Despite this sense of finality, there is a warmth to the music, led by a soprano solo and supported by richly constructed chords. Effective voice layering and passing of a tuneful melody culminate in a resolute climax. Advanced choirs will enjoy well-balanced elements of simplicity and complexity in this poignant piece.
