Music by Morten Lauridsen
In this 2005 choral setting, Morten Lauridsen uses lush harmonies and a flowing piano accompaniment to capture the luminous beauty and spiritual peace found in James Agee's 1934 poem. Part of his larger cycle Nocturnes, the piece focuses on the theme of a solitary wanderer finding healing and transcendence through the awe of a starlit summer night.
