Barter

Barter was composed for the Association for Music in International Schools Honors Choir Festival in Luxembourg, 2016. It is based on the text from the poem of the same name by American poet Sara Teasdale. In the poem, Teasdale promotes the appreciation of loveliness and beauty, such as music and nature, as an intrinsic part of life. "Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things."
