PROGRAM NOTES
An eerie chorale for Halloween based upon Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Haunted Houses."
TEXT
from Haunted Houses
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the floors.
The spirit-world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Wafts thru these earthly mists and vapors dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
