for eighth blackbird // premiered May 13, 2016 by eighth blackbird; Chicago, IL
duration: 13 minutes
Program note:
This work is inspired by a passage from John Donne’s “An Anatomy of the World”:
The world, be gone, yet in this last long night,
Her ghost doth walk; that is, a glimmering light,
A faint weak love of virtue and of good
Reflects from her, on them which understood
Her worth; and though she have shut in all day,
The twilight of her memory doth stay;
