Acrostic Song

Description

• Composer: David Del Tredici
• Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes

Acrostic Song is the lullaby-like concluding aria from Final Alice. The text is the seven-verse epilogue poem to Through the Looking Glass, the second of Lewis Carroll's Alice books. The poem is an acrostic; the initial letters of the lines spell out Alice Pleasance Liddell, the name of the real-life Alice for whom Carroll wrote his stories.
Arranged for flute and harp by the composer.
