'Poem of Praise' is a choral composition with text taken from a poem by Elizabeth Coatsworth. The song is a gliding, dreamlike melody, neatly reflecting the lyrics - "Swift things are beautiful: swallows and deer, and lightning that falls". Listen for the rich and close harmony of the choir, especially the unexpected shifts in tone.
