Remember Me

For Soprano and Piano

By Melissa Douglas


Inspired by Remember Me, a poem written by Elizabeth Margaret Chandler (1807-1834), this work is an art song for soprano and piano with evocative, colourful harmonies and word painting. The recurring themes, at times returning in fragments, musically reflect the narrator's desire to be remembered. Amidst shifting harmonies, the audience is drawn back to a repeated notes motif, which grounds the musical and poetic narrative.


Remember Me was an Honorable Mention for our 2018 Composition Contest.

Inspired by Remember Me,
​a poem written by Elizabeth Margaret Chandler (1807-1834)


When the sinking sunbeams lie
On the forest branches high;
When the twilight hour steals on,
With its hush and soothing tone,
And the care that day hath wrought
Passes from the soften'd thought,
Remember me.
When, like smiles from those we love,
Falls the moonlight from above;
When with evening's earliest star,
Wakes the thought of those afar,
And around thy bosom's cell,
Memory flings her holiest spell,
Remember me.
When the poet's high-wrought words—
When the song of woodland birds—
When the gush of shaded streams
Mingles with thy spirit's dreams,
And whate'er o'er thought may cast
Pensive hues of moments past,
