A promise to "drink our fill of the milk of the white goat" is made in this composer's setting of a poem beginning, "Come with me, under my coat." His earliest published choral work uses sinuous chromatic lines to set Sigebert of Gembloux's poetry for women's chorus. While directing the Madrigal Chorus at the Curtis Institute, he wrote Gaelic-inspired madrigals titled Reincarnations. Like Morten Lauridsen, this composer of The Virgin Martyrs repeated the title after the line "of shadows on the stars" in his setting of (*) "Sure on this Shining Night." Eleanor Steber premiered the solo part of his work for soprano and orchestra, which begins with the words "It has become that time of the evening / When people sit on their porches." That work sets a prose poem that later formed the opening of James Agee's A Death in the Family. For 10 points, name this American composer of Knoxville: Summer of 1915.
