EVENSONG is a tender 20-minute suite of seven connected scenes for violin and cello depicting a family evening at home. Hailstork provides this description: βIn a rural setting, twilight approaches, and a family gathers together. While a gentle breeze wafts through an open window, all join voices in a hymn of thanksgiving and settle down to dinner. After the meal, the children go to bed, supported by a family lullaby. After gently wishing everyone a good night, the parents spend a little time viewing the tapestry of stars before retiring for the night themselves.β .

no parts available
This seems to be a wonderful piece, but the score is not usable for performance due to impossible page turns. I contacted Presser for parts and they would not extract them. What a shame, and what a disservice to the composer! No wonder I can't find any recordings. I was hoping to program this on my faculty recital, but won't be able to.
