"Show me eyes like scars
to soothe and seethe the thoughts
thrice far and smoothly breathe
calm vision light - ajar and free,
this vision gift that's deep as dust,
and hard as feather leaves;
sweet nectar light of lust and color
brilliance;
this stroke of sight's delivery."
Program notes:
As I was searching for text for a new composition in 2019, I stumbled upon a long-time friend’s poetry book and devoured it.

Performed by the Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and the Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director.
Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from the Persian by Coleman Barks, for double Choir and organ. The poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, the giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and the Ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, speak to us with both vivid immediacy and transcendence.
The idea for the piece originated with the Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in ar... less

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.[1]
The unenfranchised women of the United States are as intelligent, law abiding and patriotic as any women in the world[2]
We cannot successfully Evade duty because the Suffering fellow woman is only a woman! The spirit of true philanthropy knows no sex.[3]
It is... our bounded duty to stand forth and declare ourselves...
to teach an ignorant and suspicious world the aims and interests of good aspiring women.
Too long have we been silent under unjust charges
The women of the race take the lead in this movement, but for all this we recognize the necessity of the sympathy of our husbands, brothers and fathers. Our women’s movement is for the good of women and men, for the benefit of all humanity...
