This setting of Clarissa Scott Delany\u2019s poem features an upbeat, buoyant, syncopated theme in the piano that compliments the playful exuberance in the vocal melody. The exclamation of \u201cjoy\u201d is interspersed with brief pauses to rhythmically enliven the feeling of jubilant vibrancy, while other evocative words such as \u201cshakes\u201d and \u201claughs\u201d are highlighted through melismatic word painting. A brief, reflective musical interlude accompanies the acknowledgment of past sorrows, in contrast to the outer sections that illuminate the radiance and vitality of joy.<\/p>\n

\nby Clarissa Scott Delany<\/p>\n
\nLike the roistering wind
\nThat laughs through stalwart pines.
\nIt floods me like the sun
\nOn rain-drenched trees
\nThat flash with silver and green.
\nI abandon myself to joy\u2014
\nI laugh\u2014I sing.
\nToo long have I walked a desolate way,
\nToo long stumbled down a maze
\nBewildered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
