For Soprano and Two Pianos
Text by Carmen Malis King
May 2017
Duration: ~7 minutes
Carmen is one of my favorite poets in the world, and also happens to be my wife. I'm grateful to her for lending me these three pre-existing fragments for the sake of this piece. I wrote this piece while we were engaged, and I believe it brought me closer to her and we prepared for marriage.
This piece deals with cycles, and particularly deals with cycles that are two slow to perceive but are nonetheless present, embedding cycles on a structural level.
Recording performed by Carolyn Quick (soprano), Wataru Niimori (piano), and Zi Ang Han (piano) in Milna, Croatia, July 2017.

I would love if someone wanted me to arrange this for one piano and voice. Or maybe for piano, voice, and percussion? If you’re interested, let’s talk.
