Thank you to Isaac Lim for this poignant addition to the Score Follower series!

Programme Notes:
A setting of a poem by the same title penned by Alfred Lord Tennyson, A Farewell tells of the vastness of time and the smallness of us. Tennyson reflects on the quiet rhythms of nature — rivers widening, trees sighing, bees humming — and though the rhythms of nature will continue “for ever and for ever”, he laments that he will not be around to watch it.
