Based on a Newfoundland folk song, Passerine refers to "the swallow" found in a lyric of lost love. Carl Strommen gives us a beautiful setting that contains a solo string quartet to begin the work, which contrasts nicely with the entrance of the full ensemble.
Based on a Newfoundland folk song, Passerine refers to "the swallow" found in the lyric of this song of lost love:" She's like a swallow that flies so high, she's like the river that never runs dry, she's like the sunshine on the lee shore.xa0I love my love, and love is no more."Passerine should reflect this sentiment in the ensemble sections as well as the solo passages; broadly and with great expression.
