Words: Charles Beaudelaire Les Fleurs du Mal XXXIII
This piece was
premièred by the Camosun Choristers of Victoria, Canada, whose conductor, Wade
It is in my freely tonal style with some dissonance which a good amateur choir will be able to handle and enjoy.
The text and sound file of the Camosun Choristers' performance is available by clicking the Text/MP3 button, and the full score (not just page 1) by sending me an email (below).

Duration: about 3 minutes
