I Am (HL 50600076)
This musical setting of the famous Mary Elizabeth Frye poem
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep begins very placidly, and takes the refrain of “I am” as a mantra for existence. The use of a dramatic soprano solo is both a musical and theatrical choice, with the soloist communicating as if from beyond death to those still alive. The chorus is also a character interaction, at times reclusive or electric, but always with a steely presence.
