The work is arranged for Mezzo-Soprano and Chamber Ensemble and lasts around 20 minutes. This is the vocal score with a Piano reduction. Good Morning Midnight takes its name from a poem by Emily Dickinson whose poetry bookends this work asetting of five different verses in total. The words all centre around the theme of night solitude quiet and the passage of time the beauty of which is matched by Weir's fantastic music.
