mp3(live)

Duration: 7.5 minutes

Instrumentation: flute and piano (alternate version for violin and piano).

Program note:

A short, lyrical litany cast in a three-part form, the work meditates on the various passages of life--the exquisite moments of transition between the static, stable moments, be they expiration, renewal, or birth.

Concert Premiere: January 2009 by flutist Timothy Lane and Pianist Nicholas Phillips at a ceremony commemorating Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Eau Claire, WI. The performance here features flutist Timothy Lane and pianist Lori Cruciani.
