Blow, Bugle, Blow (2003)
Commissioned by Benjamin Broening and the Third Practice Festival
The following is a modified extraction from the poem "Blow, Bugle, Blow" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. This poem was also used by Benjamin Britten in his Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op.31.
The splendor falls...snowy...snowy summits...
the long light...across the lakes
and the wild cataract...
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying.
...how thin and clear, and thinner, clearer,
farther...far...the horns...faintly...faintly blowing.
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes answer.
"O love, they die in yon rich sky, they faint on hill"
...echoes...our echoes...from soul to soul...
Blow, bugle, blow set the wild echoes flying,
and answer echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.
