for soprano and piano Based on poetry by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets from the Portugese explores the finding of a mature love by a woman who wonders what part of her must she sacrifice to the lover and to the world. Larsen transforms the dialogue into a musical metaphor of resolved and unresolved harmonies.
I thought once how Theocritus had sung
My letters!
With the same heart, I said, I'll answer thee
If I leave all for thee
Oh, Yes!
How do I love thee?
