Set to an ancient Japanese poem, “Natsu Kusa” captures the introspective and melancholic nature of the traditional Japanese view of the changing of seasons. This unique and cinematic love song for SATB choirs (no divisi) with piano and cello is gorgeous and accessible, and allows us to feel the same excitement as the poet as they reflect on their new, limitless bounds of love like “summer grass” growing back endlessly. Both IPA and phonetic text transcriptions are included in the score.

Recently I have been
So much in love, like
Summer grass:
Reaped and swept away, yet
Growing back.
