Score
At every moment, I am dying : for orchestra / James Wade.
Library shelf no. Q 784.2/WAD 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
The title at every moment, I am dying is a phrase from The
Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinponche.
Rather than reflecting a morbid fascination with death, these
words should be considered as an expression of the natural cycle
of life. The music was through-composed using continuously
changing "harmonic realms"; a parallel to the impetus for the
piece.
