I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love-put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
I love the efforts to avoid "I Y-AM...". Something my choir worked on for a long time. Keep up the good work!
I love this poem, and this is a beautiful expression of it.
I made all-state choir. We are performing this piece, which was adapted by Z. Randall Stroope. I’m so lucky that he’s our choir’s conductor. We got the real, unbridled version complete with the Stroope seal of approval.
im also at state right now! Stroope is the goat!
Is this the Kansas section 😃 y’all did fantastic! I’m a college student who sat in on y’all’s rehearsals and saw the final performance if so. Seriously gorgeous. Y’all are so lucky to have gotten to work with a legend!

Vocal festival uwm sent me this and 2 other songs I've never heard of and I have to perform them at the end of January I've never sang at a choir before its pretty but someone save ms
thanks music
I hope my choir sounds this awesome when we perform this song for MPA
Honey
When my choir performed this song I had no clue what the Soprano 2 part was because it sounds like it is supposed to blend in with the Soprano 1 part
This used to frustrate me a lot and it always made me not want to sing with my choir at all because of it
well done. great diction
That is a lot of hard work, but you can tell, that since I know they are Singaporean, the whole accent thing. Majority of the singers were using Eh Ee Aw Oh and Oo, formal vowels of choral singing. Because it's hard to pronounce English words without it sounding off because of there accent.
Don't touch your face! The beginning, don't touch your glasses, any of that, it's not formal. I should know, my director yelled at me one time.
I realized that he’s my clinician for state
Nice music. Does it go with the words?
I am not yours, by sara teasdale
Their diction is a little weird and they aren't using pure vowels other than that they are great!
Harrison Fink i think it's bc english isn't their first language
English is the first language for Singaporeans.
Taught as a first language but it is not the mother tongue for most in Singapore.
Tut tut Harrison.Really.
Very nice, although the altos can't be heard very well.
