Dickinsons Day: Twilight by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
Could there really be a morning? Is there such a thing as day? Could I see it from the mountains if I were as tall as they? Has it feet like water lilies? Has Has it feathers like a bird? Is it brought from famous countries of which I have never heard? Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor! Oh, some wise man from the skies! Please to tell a little pilgrim where the place called morning lies!
About Dickinsons Day: Twilight
Imagine the quiet contemplation of twilight, a perfect moment for this SSA setting of a text by Emily Dickinson. Kenneth Langer’s music captures the wonder and gentle questioning of the poet’s famous meditation on morning. The English lyrics explore profound themes of existence and the unknown, asking whether day truly exists and what its form might be. This secular piece is suitable for a choir seeking to explore expressive text-painting and evocative harmonies, offering a moment of reflective beauty.
