Composer’s Note:

Singing Land creates a new garden of sound, recalling ancient and modern voices and the mysticism of string instruments, voices of bullfrogs, and hawks who cry warnings. The circle of life continues, and we forge a world that is both spiritual and material. Text becomes music,music weaves the lushness of greenery and the exchanging on our planet, perhaps with the required urgency. Are we now in the aubade or the twilight? We can love the earth back to wholeness.

Singing Land was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Jupiter String Quartet.
