Description

"A song with piano about Enitharmon, the mythological female figure of the English poet and painter William Blake. The through-composed song emphasizes a cantabile character; the piano part moves between quasi-recitative accompaniment and detailed commentary. The poetic text of Blake is translated into wide, freely swaying melodic lines."
