Infinite Gifts

Infinite Gifts is set to poems from Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali. The music portrays both the struggles and the joys that Tagore's poems describe, through frequent changes in tonality, and contrasts between sparseness and richness. The poems are often referred to as 'song offerings', and are of a devotional nature. The choices of scale / mode, and occasional chromatic movement, help to emphasise the poem's deep spirituality.
