Words by William Butler
Yeats.
Lilting
music resembles a folk
song from the British
Isles in this happy
setting of Yeats' text,
inspired by memories of
childhood summers spent
in the Irish countryside.
The 12-line poem
expresses a
city-dweller's longing
for the simple, tranquil
life of Innisfree.
Includes proven
part-singing
strategies---the tune
first appears in unison,
then becomes a canon; a
peaceful bridge passes
the melody through lower
voice parts, while others
sing sweet counterlines;
and a modulation leads to
full triadic harmony.
