PROGRAM NOTES
My initial inspiration for The Book of Goddesses, and the source of the title, is the beautiful, lavishly illustrated book of the same name by Kris Waldherr, a Brooklyn based author, illustrator, designer and cellist. Waldherr’s book contains descriptions and images of hundreds of female deities from around the world, some featured more prominently than others. Rather than focus on goddesses in one particular culture, I highlight a few that seem to evoke something musical, dance-related or sensual. The cultures, countries and continents I draw on for musical material and styles are India, China, Greece, Ireland, North America, Nigeria and Cuba.

The flute and harp parts in each movement are often inspired by similar instruments found in each culture. For example, the harp part in Xi Wang Mu is inspired by the Konghou, and ancient Chinese harp, and the solo bass flute movement, Estanatlehi, is inspired by the sound of a Native American flute. Percussion instruments provide an earthiness, at least with regard to timbre, and each of the trio movements uses instruments that are not common in Western music, including an Indian Gatam, a Middle-Eastern Dumbek, an Afro-Cuban Cajón and the Udu drum, an instrument traditionally played by Nigerian women.

In order to achieve the right feel for each movement, I use non-Western scales, rhythms and other elements, and I occasionally appropriate patterns and other material from pre-existing music. My goal is to merge some of the qualities of traditional music with my own sensibility, and then filter it through flute, harp and percussion.

Many goddesses are associated with dance, certain colors or creativity in general, and with that in mind, I imagine The Book of Goddesses being performed live with choreographed dance. It may be presented in its entirety, although subsets—such as all of the movements for flute and harp—or single movements may also be extracted and performed.

The Book of Goddesses was commissioned by MAYA with funding provided by the New York State Council on The Arts.

Keep moving forward, continue to trust in yourself. All will come in good time. I've heard a lot that negativity breeds negativity, and I've found it to be true time and time again. I'm always trying to keep my head up and be aware of my attitude. Just as negativity breeds negativity, positivity breeds positivity! Nothing was ever accomplished by doubtful people with negative attitudes, so strive to never be that person again! Gratitude, positive attitude!

I'm still not where I want to be
I'm still not good enough it's plain to see
They're all looking down on me
Even so, I still believe
Feeling so small deep inside
There's nowhere that I can run or hide
It seems I'm running short on time
All that I can do is try

It's always so much harder for the people like me
To find where they belong
It all will come together, though, eventually
If you keep moving along

The words are so easy to say
What's hard is keeping my faith every day
I can't let my chance slip away
No, I need to be strong today

It's always so much harder for the people like me
To find where they belong
It all will come together, though, eventually
If you keep moving along
Nothing that is meaningful will come easily
You have to be strong
Everything will be ok eventually
Just keep proving them wrong

It's always so much harder for the people like me
To find where they belong
It all will come together, though, eventually
If you keep moving along
Nothing that is meaningful will come easily
You have to be strong
Everything will be ok eventually
Just keep proving them wrong
Keep proving them wrong

Eventually

Bridges For Tides

Watching the coming and going 
of the beaches and the bays.
The seesaw, the reciprocation,
the undulation of the mountains and pines.

Between the high and low tides
it only takes a few miles.
Between the high and low tides
it only can take a few miles, only few miles.

Emerge in your gravity, oh mercy.
Circles and cycles, oh I need bridges for tides.
Oh I need bridges for tides.

Driving the railroad beneath the parade 
of the blossoms by the sea,
the treetops, the blueberry fields and the hummingbirds sing
of the season´s change.

PROGRAM NOTES
The text for Thursday was conceived and written by two close friends, Bridget Meeds and Kenny Berkowitz, both excellent writers who possess an acute and often exquisitely wry sense of humor. Each movement attempts to paint a literary picture of the central character by introducing various people who are related to her. The work has six short movements, each one representing a different character.
