"Tonight I Dance Alone" for double choir a cappella consists of three poignant episodes from the life of an old man. We encounter him before his wedding before celebrating his wedding anniversary and now as an elderly widower who says to his grandson:

"Soon we will dance in the God-light
My love and I.
Soon will the moon be ours again
And the endless shining stars
In the halls of heaven.
Soon my love very soon;
But tonight one last time
Tonight I dance alone."

The libretto and the descriptive music are deeply moving and constitute an ideal partnership. This is Marten Jansson's first collaboration with the well-known librettist Charles Anthony Silvestri. The piece provides a well-worth challenge for ambitious choirs.
