G. Schirmer To a Young Child (Dale Warland Choral Series) SATB a cappella composed by Dale Warland

Written for the Clarion Chamber Chorale of Omaha, Nebraska, this Gerard Manley Hopkins poem Spring and Fall is full of beautiful, figurative and profound language. It speaks to the human condition in a compact way. And although the subject is complex, the message is simple and requires similar simplicity in performance with freedom and rubato in this powerful and inspirational composition.
