A stirring tribute, this poignant setting of Christina Rosetti’s moving text, this work features singable lines, carefully prepared dissonances, and suspensions. Whether used in a memorial service or for more general use, it’s easy to learn and very special to perform. It may be performed with or without the notated piano accompaniment.

Remember Me
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
