When You Are Old

Description

“When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read … and bending down beside the glowing bars, murmur a little sadly how love fled and paced upon the mountains overhead, and hid his face amid a crowd of stars.” Sensitive vocal lines and embracing harmonies highlight and enhance the subtle nuances of this beloved poem by William Butler Yeats. A deeply emotional and highly musical experience for performers and audiences alike.
