The text is adapted from the E.E. Cummings poem of the same name. Composer Gwyneth Walker writes: "This is a poem of grandeur and of praise. Therefore it might be expected that this musical setting would aim at vastness, grandeur and awakening." Walker accomplishes this through a variety of means. First, the piano introduction includes slowly unfolding piano arpeggios which focus on open intervals of octaves, fifths and fourths, exploiting the full range of the piano keyboard.

Its components are professionals, whether singers or related to other areas of music or those who, despite having another occupation, have a solid musical background and an extense Vocal and choral experience. The unique sonority of a femaLe group of singers, usually a capella, has been widely explored throughout the history of music by many composers from all times, both maLe and femaLe. ExampLes of such music can be found from the MiddLe Ages up to contemporary music; however it is not until Romanticism that works are composed specifically for femaLe choirs. Thus, a particular genre is born that will keep its own entity up to the present times. This genre has been especially cultivated as of late by femaLe artists and composers. Both aspects, that is presenting works written for femaLe choir as well ...
