Let Evening Come for Soprano, Viola and Piano 中提琴 鋼琴

博爾科姆的委託原本是為大都會歌劇院的女高音貝妮塔-瓦倫特和女中音塔蒂亞娜-特羅亞諾斯創作一首二重奏。然而，在創作過程中，特羅亞諾斯意外去世。於是作曲家改變了設計，改用中提琴來表現這位已故女中音。作曲家選擇了三首關於接受死亡的詩歌作為佈景："艾利、鮑德溫、佛洛德、基倫斯和梅菲爾德"（瑪雅-安傑洛）、"'Tis not that Dying hurts us so"（艾米莉-狄金森）和 "Let Evening Come"（簡-凱尼恩）。<讓黃昏來臨》由女高音歌唱家貝妮塔-瓦倫蒂、鋼琴家辛西婭-雷姆和中提琴家邁克爾-特裡錄製，並由半人馬唱片公司發行

原文簡介:
Bolcom's commission was originally to write a duet piece for Metropolitan Opera stars soprano Benita Valente and mezzo-soprano Tatiana Troyanos. However, while the composition was in development, Troyanos unexpectedly died. The design was then changed, representing the late mezzo-soprano with a viola instead. The composer selected three poems about the acceptance of death for the set: “Ailey, Baldwin, Floyd, Killens and Mayfield” (Maya Angelou), “'Tis not that Dying hurts us so” (Emily Dickinson), and “Let Evening Come” (Jane Kenyon). Let Evening Come was recorded by soprano Benita Valenti, pianist Cynthia Raim and violist Michael Tree, and released on Centaur Records.
