This
collection presents five
Christina Rosetti poems
set by Per Drud Nielsen
for unaccompanied SATB
choir. Had Christina
Rossetti lived 40 years
earlier and not written
in English but in German,
I am convinced that the
many Lied-composers in
the first half of the
19th century would have
gathered around her. And
in many ways I have set
her poems to music in the
spirit of the Lied
tradition: I have made
use of simple, modified
strophic forms. And if
you hear a loan from a
well-known Schumann-Lied
in one of my
Rossetti-songs, you are
not mistaken. - Per Drud
Nielsen.
