A poignant setting of Christina Rossetti's timeless poem When I Am Dead, My Dearest, which explores themes of love, memory, and the transient nature of life. The text, first published in 1862, is a meditation on death, not as an end, but as a moment of peaceful separation from earthly concerns. As the music unfolds, moments of stillness and simplicity provide space for contemplation, while subtle shifts in dynamics and tonal color evoke the anxiety of a final goodbye, capturing the emotional tension between holding on and letting go.
