About the Score

Victor Hugo's heart-wrenching 1847 poem describes a walk he plans to take tomorrow morning ("Demain, dès l'aube") through the countryside to his daughter Léopoldine's grave, four years after her tragic death in a boating accident, which also took the life of her husband Charles who had tried to save her. My SATB a cappella setting of "Demain, dès l'aube" tries to capture the unspeakable grief that Hugo was carrying with him as he took that long walk. It is dedicated to my dear friend Lillian Holowka, and her partner Donald Bergen, who died less than a year apart in 2013 and 2014.
