A classic text by Shelley. There is, of course, a famous setting for solo voice by Roger Quilter, but I wanted to write something different. This piece is a mid-tempo waltz written in mixolydian mode (with the exception of the bridge) with a lot of added-note and lightly chromatic chords, which gives it a sort of “floaty” feel. There is a lot of opportunity for tone-building here, with many extended vowels and long phrasing.
