To celebrate Christmas 2011, here is a beautiful choral setting of Emily Dickinson's poem, "I shall know why" by Roberto Brisotto (1972); text by Emily Dickinson (Lyric n.193) - Coro "Giovani del Contrà" - direttore: Roberto Brisotto.
I shall know why -- when Time is over --
And I have ceased to wonder why --
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky --
He will tell me what "Peter" promised --
And I -- for wonder at his woe --
I shall forget the drop of Anguish
That scalds me now -- that scalds me now!
-----------Emily Dickinson
