Moonset is the second in a set of three songs for voice and piano on poems by renowned Canadian Indigenous poet E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913). The poetry explores themes of memory, love, and longing, and the accompanying music is built over a gentle, rocking piano motive that gives the piece a dreamy and mysterious quality. This work was commissioned and premiered by baritone Jason Klippenstein on November 13, 2017, at Roy Barnett Recital Hall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
