This setting of Sara Teasdale's poem Winter Stars speaks to the unchanging beauty of the stars amidst the changing and tumultuous nature of life and the world at large. For the composer, this poem is deeply tied to the memory of her father, with whom she often stargazed as a child--Orion being her favorite constellation. The work is penned for SATB chorus, piano and optional string quartet. It is appropriate for high school, university, and community choruses alike.
