Score
Autumn, The Night, and Over and Over : for SATB choir / Lachlan Skipworth ; words by Rainer Maria Rilke.
Library shelf no. 782.55542/SKI 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
I was drawn to this and two other poems by Rainer Maria Rilke as their subject matter, although somewhat dark, resonates with a sense of delicate beauty amidst their spiritual undertones. In 'Autumn', the musical setting plays off the poem's repeated use of the word "falling".
