â??Tonight I Dance Aloneâ? for double choir a cappella consists of three poignant episodes from the life of an old man. We encounter him before his wedding, before celebrating his wedding anniversary and now as an elderly widower who says to his grandson:

â??Soon we will dance in the God-light,
My love and I.
Soon will the moon be ours again,
And the endless shining stars
In the halls of heaven.
Soon, my love, very soon;
But tonight, one last time,
Tonight I dance alone.�

The libretto and the descriptive music are deeply moving and constitute an ideal partnership. This is MÃ¥rten Jansson's first collaboration with the well-known librettist Charles Anthony Silvestri. The piece provides a well-worth challenge for ambitious choirs.

It was world-premiered by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus under the baton of Philip Barnes on 1 October 2017 in Saint Louis, MO (USA)

The night wears on, the air is chilled. Alone I walk this road, as higher yet I go on the well-worn path. The soft moon rises, the stars give light, shining on the midnight sky on Winter Mountain. Vivid lyrics, rich winter imagery, and heartfelt emotion compliment with subtle nuance the message of discovering peace, beauty, and contentment in our ever-changing world. An unforgettable musical experience!
