Dawn in the Room for Baritone and Piano (mp3)

Details

The grieving lover finds fleeting solace at daybreak when the golden light seeps into his/her solitary space, evoking memories of the beloved's hair. This song is composed in Dorian mode, which is my mode of choice. The lyrics were penned by E M Solomons, the composer's mother. E M Solomons' Poem The light of faint gold quietly infiltrates my hushed chamber, grazing my countenance, signaling your presence. Gently, outlines emerge, as hues supplant the greyness.
