A unitary melodic idea weaves through shifting climates, striving not to lose its basic identity. It is pulled in conflicting directions as time unfolds. A journey through many sound-worlds leads to a climactic hyper-realization of the melody, which then disintegrates into a shadowy dream-memory.

Premiered December 7, 2015 at Brooklyn College by:

Eni Karahoda, flute
Hila Zamir, clarinet
Adam von Housen, violin
Ansel Cohen, violoncello
Laurence Cummings, piano
