Zusammenfassung
This piece is five movements for Wind Ensemble. Each movement includes unaccompanied vocal introductions. I have
chosen five poems by Sara Teasdale as the text for these introductions. The large ensemble then expands and comments on the
themes introduced by the voice.
The five Teasdale poems outline a narrative arc partially inspired by the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, but also hopefully
encourage the listener to imagine their own story of how one’s view of things changes as new experiences and knowledge
change the perspective.
