Secular Requiem explores an individual’s relationship to death in different contexts including community, the deceased, the self, passage of time, and the present moment. This requiem explores musical duality on different levels including time, texture, harmony, and style. The texts are comprised of quotes and poetry by Leonard Bernstein, Sara Teasdale, Kelsey MacDonald, and the composer. This piece was largely composed following the death of the composer’s paternal grandfather, Larry Swatosh. I Shall Not Care is the 2nd movement adn explores the relationship to the deceased, reoccurring motive/modal duality, and sets the poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale.

Text:

​I Shall Not Care
Sara Teasdale
​
When I am dead and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Tho’ you should lean above me broken-hearted,
I shall not care.
I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough,
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
Than you are now.
