I am a bee out in the fields of winter
|
And though I memorized the slope of water,
|
Oblivion carries me on his shoulder:
|
Beyond the suns I speak and circuits shiver,
|
But though I shout the wisdom of the maps,
|
I am a salmon in the ring shape river.

Composer's Notes. Harmonic structure: a set of horizontal vocal lines
|
is improvised in at least three ranges, the vertical effect
|
of which is atonal tone clusters and arhythmic counterpoint.
|
|
Performance: the written melody is to be sung, after which
|
the lines of lyric are to be reordered at will and sung
|
to improvised melody, taking advantage of the opportunity
|
for quartertones, third note lengths, and flexible tempo.
