Small Ensemble High Voice, Viola, Violin - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1773435
Composed by Stanley M Hoffman. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Classical. 6 pages. Stanleymhoffman.com #1333906. Published by stanleymhoffman.com (A0.1773435).Completed in 2025, Afternoon on a Hill is a brief, uncomplicated, modal setting of the poem of the same name by Edna St. Vincent Millay scored for soprano, violin, and viola. It features the major and minor second as the predominant-sounding interval, more so in the accompaniment, but also in the melodic lines of the voice, and of the two string parts. Those melodic lines are more linear than they are intervallic, intervallic leaps being more so prevalent in the accompaniment. Timing in at 2:25, I hope you enjoy this pretty little song.
Afternoon on a Hill
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
