PROGRAMME NOTE
The fragment of text heard in this piece – ‘I love thee to the level of every day’s most quiet need, by sun and candle-light’ – is taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s (1806-1861) Sonnet 43 ‘How do I love thee?’. This short love song merges three individual female voices into one melancholic storyteller, holding on to a beautiful thought.
