This work explores the connections
between nature and people. Text
from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau's observations
at Walden Pond are treated as a series of words and
phrases and the music moves through the text, reflecting
on the purity and irony of Thoreau's more innocent view
of nature and people.
The voice part can be sung by a
soprano, high mezzo, or tenor. The range is B below
middle C
to G above the staff, with emphaisis on the G
in one passage. Played from score.
