Publisher Desc.  Three choral reflections based on poems by William Butler Yeats. Acapella settings of The Poet Pleads With His Friend For Old Friends and When You Are Old frame the haunting and reflective Before The World Was Made, scored for accompanied choir and soprano solo. Thoughtful melodic phrasing supported by rich, shifting harmonies lead to contemplative adaptations of the texts which deal with love, aging and the passage of time. Logical voice leading and accessible ranges; suitable for high school, college or community choirs. Medium difficulty. Duration: ca. 8:00
