We are working on the musical arrangement of A throe upon the features by Emily Dickinson and it will be published:

on a date yet to be decided

A throe upon the features
A hurry in the breath,
An ecstasy of parting
Denominated "Death," —

An anguish at the mention,
Which, when to patience grown,
I 've known permission given
To rejoin its own.
