Description:
Sara Teasdale's poem, Oh day of fire and sun, suggests a loud, fast musical setting. The syncopated homo-phonic choral texture, with high tessituras, exudes drama and excitement: it balances the expansive gestures of the piano accompaniment. Vivid images like 'Lifting into the sky' and 'Diving into the sea' inspire soaring, energetic vocal lines. One of a set of six of Teasdale's love songs. Duration: 1:30
