Description

This work for mezzo-soprano, tenor and ensemble, originally written for two voices and piano, deals in ambiguities: of words, of ideas, and of human understanding. Each of the texts chosen for Vanishing Word address in some manner the ways in which language and meaning diverge over time, and how man and nature become further apart.
