From Here, Now Away In the Midcoast, we’ve gotten quite a bit of the “From Away, Now Here” influx. So, this is a new feature to highlight people who’ve grown up here and are on a journey elsewhere to shine their creative light. Don't forget--Nathan is performing TONIGHT, November 19, at Bowdoin College. Included below is the Longfellow Poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" which inspired this choral composition. (I've heard it--it's awesome.) Click to read the story of Nathan Scalzone, choral composer in Village Soup's thescene titled "From Here, Now Away" THE TIDE RISES, THE TIDE FALLS
The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveller hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Henry Wadworth Longfellow from Ultima Thule - 1880
