Work Overview

Music, Being, and the Spaces Between consists of twelve interludes in which each interlude's title refers to various experiences, or poetic representations, of one's being in the world. Each interlude is accompanied by a commentary which functions like a poetic and/or analytical program note. The commentaries hover somewhere between the experiential and explanatory. The interludes can be performed without any of the included texts. However, a performance can also involve a speaker who reads shorter abridged versions of the commentaries.

More information and recordings of Music, Being, and the Spaces Between can be accessed via the composer's website.
