Winter Birds and OM
solo for viola
A viola piece I wrote and performed in the winter of 2019.
The piece was composed using the rationale pictured below
The performance contains the following text:
in the shadow of the valley of the birds
the spoken voice attracts the people
across winter’s valley
the footprints of Friday
with his characteristic toe, and line
graphs a talismanic future
to the eye of she who resists
although we are colonists
we abandon our positions
as missionaries
and remain afloat
thermal drafts sustaining us
awing among mineral baths
bubbling with genesis
noise and futures
waiting
until the moment that
symmetry is broken
