A Note from the Composer
Evening has always been a source of inspiration for me. I love lingering outside after dark, breathing in the night air as the wind cools the earth. I wrote the poem Cool Wind specifically for the purpose of setting it to song in a choral work. The human voice has a wholly expressive sound, and because the night holds a vivid emotional meaning for me, it seemed appropriate for the piece to be composed for an ensemble of these expressive instruments. My hope is that listeners will find calmness in the music and perhaps imagine themselves in the light of the stars, inhaling the smells of evening while the moon bathes the earth in serene light.
