First line of Text
The sunset sky is etched by a wedge of birds
,
The shining oceans' waves toss their joyous human
,
The golden harvests spread across the willing landscape
,
The glittering blanketed fields is traced by minute patterns
,
The great river is perpetual journey through towns and centuries
,
The moonlit silences lie sleeping among the mountains
,
Who is that lurking among the leaves of tree?

I was very pleased when the Atlantic Arts Trio commissioned me to write a work for them, and I knew immediately what text I would use for the new piece. Canadian poet William Prouty's Nature Suite was a set of seven poems he had sent me as a birthday present several years earlier, and I was struck by their evocative quality. Often with few words, Prouty paints a very vivid image, and their unspoken resonances seemed to suggest a musical setting. The challenge for me was to create an aural fabric to enhance the text of the poems, and to build a framework for them without obscuring their beauty. The result gives the clarinet and piano the role of suggesting a mood for each poem, while the soprano gives lyrical voice to the poet's words.
