Description
This piece dates from 1976. The music is pitch-centric, with two main musical ideas explored throughout the piece. Both are lyrical, but one has much more energy and forward motion, while the other is more reflective in nature. This piece is moderately challenging, and ascends to D5. An accompanying verse, authored by the composer, helps to set the tone for this expressive and effective piece.
