In this work for male voice choir and piano, Philip Sparke aptly captures the mood of the poem The Last Flower of Autumn by Edith Sodergran (1892-1923), a Swedish-speaking Finnish poet. This solemn composition echoes the idyllic, romantic mood of the poem, which can be understood as an allegory of human existence with all its hardships and life’s inevitable difficulties.
