Lost Star (2023)
SATB choir, string orchestra; ca. 4 min.
The composer writes: The poem “Lost Star” was included in Rabindranath Tagore’s Bengali-language collection Kheya (Ferrying Across), published in 1906 – and the English translation used in this setting is also by Tagore. The text deals with the futility and folly of seeking to improve upon perfection.
