Bradford put Walt Whitman's words from Leaves of Grass to music in this choral work. GIVE me the splendid Silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling; Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard; Give me a field where the unmow'd grass grows; Give me an arbor, give me the trellis'd grape; Give me fresh corn and wheat—give me serene-moving animals, teaching content; Give me Nights perfectly quiet, and I looking up at the stars; Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturb'd; Give me for marriage a sweet-breath'd woman, of whom I should never tire; Give me a perfect child—give me, away, aside from the noise of the world, a rural, domestic life; Give me to warble spontaneous songs, reliev'd, recluse by myself, for my own ears only; Give me solitude—give me Nature—give me again, O Nature, your primal sanities!  less

Performed by the St. Olaf Choir and conductor Anton Armstrong. Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in Trondheim, Norway (Olavsfestdagene).
