A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~
The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~
...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~
My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

This is very beautiful, Daniel. Is there a text? I recognize that the tenor is "requiem aeternam", but do the other voices have a text?
Well, you can make "Nymphes des bois" fit if you like, but I'd like to keep away from the "Requiem aeternam" text. I mean, at least when I go, if we are going anywhere, I hate for it to just be resting forever, I'd much rather struggle a bit more, continue to do some work (and play). I suspect Tenney's sympathies would have been similar.
