Detail 01
Instrumentation: mezzo-soprano, piano
The work requires a mezzo-soprano and pianist.

Independent shopping perspective
The Anniversary pairs mezzo-soprano and piano in a setting of John Donne’s poem. A self-contained piano introduction leads into syllabic vocal writing, with occasional dissonance placing attention on the text. The work follows the poem’s reflection on enduring love, separation through death, and reunion in heaven, making it a text-centered choice for a singer and pianist who want the words to remain at the center of the performance.
