The Sunken Garden

As the soldier returns home from the Great War, he is reminded of all the lives lost at the graveyard of his companions. Around him, the scenery start to faze for a moment, and a beautiful garden from beyond is revealed for a short time. Understanding now his friends' peace, he leaves the grave and moves on himself.
This work is a traditional art song, set to the poem "The Sunken Garden" by English poet Walter de la Mare. Filled with conflicting highs and lows, this work is sure to show off your vocal talents in an emotionally-charged fashion!
