Peggy Polias - Emily 547
String Quartet recording coming soon

Emily Dickinson
Poem 547

I've seen a Dying Eye
Run round and round a Room -
In search of Something - as it seemed -
Then Cloudier become -
And then - obscure with Fog -
And then - be soldered down
Without disclosing what it be
'Twere blessed to have seen

This work is based on Emily Dickinson's poem 547 I've seen a Dying Eye, a short and intense poem that Peggy has always wanted to set. After a short opening statement, a series of variations unfold which closely follow the path of the poem. Peggy hopes to write a collection of pieces based on different poems by Dickinson.
