Description
"A beautiful, evocative setting by Latvian composer Eriks Ešenvalds of a poem by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, the first Asian poet to do so. His writings merge concepts from Hinduism and Christianity that were both major influences on his life. "I forgot to follow the track. I stepped a few paces from the path, and my familiar world appeared strange to me, like a flowerI had only known in bud. My everyday wisdom was ashamed. I went astray in the fairyland of things. It was the best luck of my life that I lost my path that morning, and found my eternal childhood." First published in Tagore's collection Lover's Gift and Crossing (1918). Scored for choir and clarinet, the work was commissioned for the farewell concert of Drake University Choral Director and Distinguished Professor of Conducting Dr Aimee Beckmann-Collier, who led choral programmes for thirty years at Drake.
