Description:
The woman depicted in She Walks in Beauty elicits expressions of tender and gentle endearment from the poet. To accompany words like 'sweet,' 'pure,' 'soft,' 'eloquent,' the music flows gently, uninterrupted by rhythmic outbursts or jarring dissonances.The path of love is not always sunlit. In Shades of Love, the music expresses a variety of emotions brought on by diverse stages of love: ecstasy, tenderness, bitterness, wistfulness, eternal devotion. The colours and harmonies shift to match the mood of the poetry as each song portrays a different aspect of love.
