Product Description

The opening song of Bright Star: A Song Cycle on Poems by John Keats, 'Not Born for Death, Immortal Bird!' captures the transcendent beauty of Keats Ode to a Nightingale. This luminous setting meditates on the eternal song of the nightingale, a symbol of art and beauty that transcends the limits of human mortality and the transient nature of individual lives. With evocative vocal lines and atmospheric piano textures, the music mirrors the poem's journey from rapture to melancholy, as the narrator is drawn back to reality by the plaintive fading of the bird's song. A poignant reflection on imagination and the enduring power of beauty, this piece is ideal for recital performance.
