for SA and piano Setting a text by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, this thoughtful and evocative piece compares a dying relationship with the changing of the seasons from summer to winter, which McGlade skilfully reflects in her use of minor tonality, falling melodic phrases, and shifting chromaticism. Reminiscent of the English art song, this setting for upper voices and piano demonstrates McGlade's compositional versatility.

The hauntingly beautiful opening melody and lilting piano accompaniment immediately draw you into the story The vocal writing is not always predictable and, like the sophisticated language of the poem, is always totally enthralling. * Choir & Organ, December 2021 *
