61060, A light exists in spring, AR2578, Elizabeth Knudson, 00:05:09
This piece takes its text from a poem of the same name by 19th century American poet, Emily Dickinson. It draws upon the ideas of prismic light and colour-- light waves, as well as the idea of sound waves, in the form of bell-sounds created by the human voice. The work was also inspired by this idea: "At a suitable distance, church bells could be powerfully evocative, for the strident noises of their clappers are lost and they are given a legato phrasing which wind currents or water will modulate dynamically... Perhaps no sound benefits more from distance and atmosphere." -R. Murray Schafer, from his book, The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World (1977). A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year At any other period-- When March is scarcely here A Color stands abroad On Solitary Fields That Science cannot overtake But Human Nature feels. It waits upon the Lawn, It shows the furthest Tree Upon the furthest Slope you know It almost speaks to you. Then as Horizons step Or Noons report away Without the formula of sound It passes and we stay-- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
