Commissioned, broadcasted, and recorded by the superb male-voice ensemble Cantus, Byron Adams's "Eventide" is a love-letter to the literary and musical traditions of nineteenth-century America. Setting a beloved poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Adams has created a warm and eloquent piece for male chorus that evokes the quiet villages of New England, the verities of hearth and home, and the touching beauty of an abiding love expressed though poetry and music.
