Prairie Spring
This setting of Willa Cather's poem begins with open, sustained harmonies and sparse textures meant to evoke the expansiveness of the prairie. The piece journeys through a contrapuntal section that chronicles the task of working the land, then radically shifts tonality and character with the mood-lifting introduction of the text about youth. An eventual return to the opening texture for the final phrases brings resolution to the musical journey.
