Refuge Refuge는 Elaine Hagenberg가 작곡하고 작사는 Sara Teasdale의 Poem입니다. Sara Teasdale's poem is the inspiration for this dramatic concert work which relies heavily on the tumultuous piano and cello accompaniment to convey the deep feeling of the text. The opening section is dark and stormy, but the sun comes out in the final section with serene moments of mostly unaccompanied choral harmonies. "For with my singing I can make a refuge for my spirit's sake, a house of shining words, to be my fragile immortality." Refuge
From my spirit's gray defeat,
From my pulse's flagging beat,
From my hopes that turned to sand
Sifting through my close-clenched
From my own fault's slavery,
If I can sing,I still am free.
For with my singing I can make
A refuge for my spirit's sake,
A house of shinning words,to be
My fragile immortality. ;
