The five songs of Christina's World, on poems by Christina Rossetti, loosely follow a narrative arc beginning with the joyful emotions of true love, and continuing with darker observations about the nature of being alive and of the questions of life and death, the tension of which is resolved at the end of the cycle with a positive sense that as one approaches the end of this life, all will be well and find a place of welcome and rest.
