Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flow'r; but only so an hour. Robert Frost's insightful words, dwelling on the inevitability that nothing lasts forever, come into sharper focus in this distinguished setting by Timothy Cooper. Written for mature high school or college and community ensembles, this piece displays a full palette of choral textures and colors without the addition of divisi or a cappella sections.
