SATB/piano
Sacred text in English by Natalie Goldberg
Difficulty rating (1-5): 3 This piece has not yet been premiered- please e-mail me if you are interested in doing a premiere. This is another great Natalie Goldberg text (see also Elijah, for SATB a cappella and SSAA/piano). I think it speaks beautifully about knowing when to resign gracefully to fate and letting go. It’s also a poem which isn’t fully sacred or secular. Complete perusal score available upon request. TEXT
(from the
collection Top of My
Lungs)
Let us die
gracefully into this
world
like a leaf pressed
in stone
let us go quietly
breathing our last
breath
let the sun continue
to revolve in its
great golden dance
let us leave it be
as it is
and not hold on
not even to the moon
tipped as it will be
tonight
and beckoning wildly
in the sea
