Notes
This work has a special place in my heart, as it was the first choral work I ever composed. I told my then girlfriend Ashley that I wanted to write a choral work, and she offered to write the text. This beautiful and elegant poem is the result, and I set the words to music while we spent several months on opposite sides of the country. Here is the poem:
Goodnight, Goodnight by Ashley Danyew
Sun sets low beneath the sky
Leaves all in golden state
Stars glow at edge of twilight
And here I stay, your words await
Goodnight, Goodnight
Sky a shade of midnight blue
Moon in its glowing fate
The world at peace is a calming view
And here I stay, your words await
Goodnight, Goodnight
Distance leaves us far apart
So at midnight if I may
Wish upon the brightest star
And hear your voice so softly say
Goodnight, Goodnight
