An Irish Airman Foresees His Death is a setting of the poem of the same name by WB Yeats which describes the thoughts of an Irish WWI pilot. This piece sets the contrasting lines of the poem by pitting chords of differing qualities but the same root against each other to clash and blur "good" and "bad".
