Ascending vocal lines stretch across a driving accompaniment, as if reaching out to grasp the expanse depicted in Leonora Speyer's rapturous poem. This impassioned piece builds through key changes and several returns of the opening material before arriving at its brilliant final chord, reflecting "Loveliness, wings for my flight"! A thrilling concert opener or closer!
“Measure me, sky!
Tell me I reach by a song
Nearer the stars...”
