Dedicated to Archibald Davison, Quis multa gracilis (Odes of Horace, No. 4) is Randall Thompson's first published work. It was was privately printed in Rome during his residency at the American Academy, and only two copies of this printing are known to survive. It was subsequently published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company in 1932. The text is by Quintus Horatius Flaccus (December 8, 65 BC – November 27, 8 BC), known in the English-speaking world as Horace. He was a leading lyrical Roman poet of his day. The words are about passion, nature, and the Gods. The music features a dramatic mix of homophony and polyphony to paint the words.
