Boosey and Hawkes Love Alone (TTBB and Piano, 4 Hands) TTBB Composed by Ned Rorem

The text is the first of Eighteen Elegies for Rog. The poet Paul Monette explains his dedication: Roger Horowitz, my beloved friend, died on 22 October 1986, after nineteen months of fighting the ravages of AIDS. He was fourty-four years old, and the happiest man I ever knew. The over-all title comes from Millay's verses: ... many a man is making friends with death even as I speak, for lack of love alone. Duration: ca. 6 minutes.
