In Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart, a fragment from Christina Rossetti’s poem, Mirage, the poet commands her “breaking heart” through urgent repetitions, to “lie still and break.” The grief of a lost love changes her “life, and the world” forever. Stephen Chatman’s harmonically rich homophonic setting concludes with an intense reprise, featuring a solo descant.
