for SSA and piano
In this poignant ballad Toby Young has set an adaptation of Emily Dickinson's poem My Letter to the World to heartfelt melodies with a pop-style piano accompaniment. The song reflects on the pain of being separated from loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic and the power that music has to unite us. A version for SATB and piano (ISBN 978-0-19-356693-4) is also available.
