We contemplate our relationship to seasonal change and ecological continuity, situating individual lives within larger patterns of endurance and renewal. We feature pianist Chuck Foster in Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year, with works of Judith Weir, David Shapiro, Veljo Tormis, and Paul Mealor.

Turn away no more;
Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
the watery shore,
Is given thee till break of day.
—William Blake
