Winter Trees
Kevin McCarter
About this work:
The mood of William Carlos Williams' poem is evoked by wintry harmonies, crystaline chords in the upper register of the piano, and choral writing that reflects images from the text.
WINTER TREES:
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
