	Description/Remarks PEL2025 Untraveled Worlds is a prominent festival work with text from Tennyson’s “Ulysses”. A dramatic, heroic setting of an inspiring text, with music that is innovative, affirmative and accessible. And, a fabulous violin solo - part celtic, part global, entirely exciting. __________________________________________________ “The sound of the full chorus just wraps around you like angel wings and lifts one’s spirits to a higher level.” – Bonnie Beth Derby, Producer/host “Choral Traditions” WCNY-FM "The title and theme are from the text of Tennyson’s “Ulysses”: '…all experience is an arch wherethrough / Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades / For ever and for ever when I move'. The work becomes a meditation on human longing and the mystical experience of alternative realities. For harried souls in troubled times, “Untraveled Worlds” offers a room with a panoramic view of images beckoning from beyond the scope of everyday experience.” - Jennifer Kolmes, The American Organist Magazine Commissioned by Bruce Fifer and Collegium Musicum of Taft School for Commencement, May 25, 2000

	Texts Words: Alfred, Lord Tennyson Untraveled Worlds I cannot rest from travel; I will drink Life to the lees. All times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone. I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams the untraveled world whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life! Life piled on life Were all too little, and of one to me Little remains; but every hour is saved From that eternal silence, something more, A bringer of new things; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself, And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. Come, my friends, ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield! text from “Ulysses” by Alfred Lord Tennyson
