Music by ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER

Lyrics by TREVOR NUNN after T.S. ELIOT

For SSA* and Piano with Optional Instrumental AccompanimentPerformance Notes: Just as a memory is often vague, distant and slightly haunting so should the style and tempos be

in this beautiful melody. The presence of an “ebb and flow” sensation should definitely be felt. This feeling is created

between the musical expression, tempos and smooth performance of the triplets throughout. You should feel a natural

sense of quickening as you perform the sections at measures 19, 23 and 39. Note the “duple” feeling on the final four

eighth notes in most of the 10/8 measures. Regardless of meter, the over-all intent is smoothness with much dynamic

expression. E.L.
