Words by Robert
Burns.
This poem
has long been a favorite
of singers due to its
deep passion and
expressive imagery, not
to mention the warm
vowels at the end of each
line. In this artistic
setting, Greg Gilpin
incorporates a
contemporary harmonic
palette, expressive tempo
nuances, and elegant
dynamic shading to form a
colorful garden of sound.
The final chord suggests
the rose/thorn quality of
love, as singers sustain
sweet dissonance. Give
special consideration to
the S.S.A. voicing---the
romantic text may have
great appeal to your
ladies.
