Songs of Love and Despair


This is a new setting of four tragic poems by Sarah Teasdale.  Together, they tell a story that begins with the exhilaration of love, followed by heartbreak, leading to despair.

The subject matter opens the possibility of discussion about mental health issues and support available today.
