Thomas Walsh's poem and Mary Turner Salter's setting of it capture the moment between day and night—and the desire to linger in that moment as long as possible.The episode features the first-ever recording of Mary Turner Salter's "Afterglow," performed by soprano Camille Ortiz and pianist Gustavo Castro and engineered by Joseph Wenda. I commissioned the recording for Art Song Augmented, my website devoted to art songs by underrepresented composers. Learn more about Salter's songs, access her song scores, and hear three other performances by Ortiz and Castro on her Art Song Augmented page.You can find the score to Salter's song here and a video recording here.Afterglowby Thomas WalshOver the orchard one great star;The mellow moon—; and the harvest done;And the cheek of the river crimsoned farFrom the kiss of the vanished sun.
