ISBN 600313707346. English. This work was commissioned by St. Roch Catholic Secondary, Brampton, Ontario, Canada. "Life has loveliness to sell" is the opening line of Sara Teasdale's poem, Barter, from her collection titled Love Songs (1917). Chatman's setting reflects the poem's optimistic spirit and the beauty or loveliness of life through lines pertaining not only to life's "value" but also exemplifying nature, music, children, love and peace. Teasdale's famous words of advice, "Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost;" inspire a hushed, dramatic statement. Alternating homophonic and contrapuntal sections modulate and evolve, rising to a climactic ending. Duration 4:00 Stephen Chatmansheet music
