Mystery sets five poems by poet Sara Teasdale from her volumes Flame and Shadow (1920), Helen of Troy and Other Poems (1911), and Rivers to the Sea (1915). The cycle can be sung by mezzo-soprano or baritone.
The second audio selection is made possible courtesy of the composer. The first and third audio selections are made possible through a collaboration between the Hampsong Foundation and SongFest. In "Spray," the performers are Ricardo Rivera, baritone, and Stefanie Watson, piano. In "The Kiss," the performers are Rebecca Brinkley, soprano and Han-Wen Yu, piano. These two performances took place at Pepperdine University at SongFest 2010.
