Luke Havergal

Hear a lovely rendition of this John Duke song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NkdPSLYorU.
It is a setting of a powerful poem by Edward Arlington Robinson. I am working to perform this piece at two festivals in early 2011, if I can get permission from Carl Fischer to perform a transposed version in a lower key. I would love to hear your comments on what you think this piece is about.

[NOTE: I took this photo while biking in France in September 2010. These are Luke's "crimson leaves against the wall." Am I obsessed by this song or what?]
