voicing: SSAA | catalog number: SBMP 1240 | duration: 3:40 | price: $2.05
accompaniment: a cappella

Starting in unison, then adding a part, and another, and mid-way through we reach the stars with all four parts involved. This is a treble a cappella piece that is stunning. Sara Teasdale off in the heavens would delight to hear this wonderful setting of her poem.

As dew leaves the cobweb lightly
Threaded with stars,
Scattering jewels on the fence
And the pasture bars;
As dawn leaves the dry grass bright
And the tangled weeds
Bearing a rainbow gem
On each of their seeds;
So has your love,
Fresh as the dawn,
Made me a shining road
To travel on,
Set every common sight
Of tree or stone
Delicately alight
For me alone.

Dew
by Sara Teasdale
