SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER'S DAY?

This piece is the fourth movement of a solo vocal set titled Love's Waning Seasons for medium voice and piano. This is the only movement of the solo set which has been alternatively scored for chorus. The text is from William Shakespeare's (1564‐1616) Sonnet XVIII, one of 25 sonnets written between 1591 and 1594. Few verses of poetry express so profoundly and eloquently the intense love between two people.
