I Would Live In Your Love – SA, Piano
This inspirational setting of Sara Teasdale’s Pulitzer Prize winning text is set simply with a beautiful melody that unfolds into independent parts. “I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me, I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.”
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.

About the composer of I Would Live In Your Love Michael John Trotta
Fueled by a passion for combining tradition and innovation, American composer Michael John Trotta (b.1978) creates music that resonates with modern audiences around the world. From Carnegie Hall to cathedrals and concert halls around the world, he creates "elegant, singable music with a strong, spiritual heft" (Choir and Organ Magazine).
Seasoned by his experience as a conductor at the primary, secondary, and university levels – as well as a church music director – his works are infused with an "intimate knowledge of the human voice and a rare sensitivity to the capabilities of a choral ensemble" (Fanfare). The "dynamic interplay of time-honored musical gestures with present-day sonorities" (Choral Scholar) create "tender harmonies and a palette of glowing vocal and instrumental colors" (Gramophone).
In addition to a significant output of music for unaccompanied choir, he has written nine choral-orchestral works on a larger scale. His most recent work, "Requiem," was recorded by Tenebrae Choir (Nigel Short, conductor).
His select concert and sacred music is published by Hampton Roads Music Group and is distributed by Excelcia Music. For more information, a complete list of compositions, or to get in touch, visit his official website www.mjtrotta.com.
