The poem speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. Lauridsen's a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet, serene and folk-like, utilising direct harmonies accompanying long, lyrical vocal lines. "This is an outstanding performance of the Soneto! Beautifully sung, shaped and recorded... The Soneto requires a superb choir and conductor to do it well and you certainly have them here." - Morten Lauridsen Listen now Apple music Spotify Track list 1. Nocturnes: II.
