For suffering people at Christmas: a Dickinson poem sung

To celebrate Christmas 2011, here is a beautiful choral setting of Emily Dickinson's poem, "I shall know why" by Roberto Brisotto (1972); text by Emily Dickinson (Lyric n.193) - Coro "Giovani del Contrà" - direttore: Roberto Brisotto.

I shall know why -- when Time is over -- And I have ceased to wonder why -- Christ will explain each separate anguish In the fair schoolroom of the sky -- He will tell me what "Peter" promised -- And I -- for wonder at his woe -- I shall forget the drop of Anguish That scalds me now -- that scalds me now! -----------Emily Dickinson
