About the Piece:

Composed between 1900 and 1901, Song to the Moon is the emotional heart of the opera Rusalka. It captures the water nymph’s melancholic plea to the moon to reveal her love to a human prince. This arrangement preserves the expansive arpeggios and dramatic expression that made this aria a staple for legendary sopranos like Renée Fleming.
