The celebrated text, “Do not stand at my grave and weep” is emotionally arranged into a concert work of grief and tears, hope and joy. A lonely and longing violin melds with a rich and moving piano accompaniment. The piece begins quietly, builds with intensity, and sings into silence with the text, “I am not there. I did not die.” Presented for the first time with full orchestra.
