Augusta Reed Thomas' Pilgrim Soul was originally written for English horn and two violins in 2011. It was transcribed by the composer for bassoon and two cellos at the request of George Sakakeeny.
The title of the work comes from the poem "When you are old" by William Butler Yeats:
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains over head
And Hid his face amid a crown of stars.
Wonderful soul-sootheing performance ! Many thanks for posting !
