for baritone, viola, cello, and percussion
[1 percussionist playing vibraphone, crotales, and glockenspiel ]
[7 minutes]
About:

Mark Strand's poem, "Another Place," from his book The Late Hour (1978), fascinates me because it combines simple and concise language with a complex and subtle structure. Any single line taken on its own might seem simplistic or banal. But put together, these simple building blocks create a rich narrative that somehow seems at once linear, symmetrical, and circular.
