Product Description

2022. SSAA, piano, flute and bassoon / 6 min

I was taken in by the story in the poem Tree-Burial by William Cullen Bryant, a 19th century American romantic poet - about a Native American ritual of burying a child high among the trees rather than in the ground. This ritual and the words spoken seem a powerful balm in the face of grief and sadness. The text reflects the mothers tenderness to the child - sorrowful but loving and beautiful. I found the poem in a collection of Poems About Trees, celebrating sacred groves, wild woodlands, and bountiful orchards, paying lyrical tribute to these majestic beings with whom we share the earth.

Composed for womens voices, the flute and bassoon add a doleful fullness to this piece. My composition borrows from the longer poem.

Also available in SSA & piano, flute, oboe/clarinet and bassoon.

As of Nov 15, 2023, I am seeking a premiere for this piece.  Please get in touch through www.davefroman.com.  


Performed here by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir - Virtual Singers.
