premiere performance by TAK Ensemble - Laura Cocks, bass flute; Madison Greenstone, bass clarinet; Charlotte Mundy, voice

Text: 
They are stardust
They are shapeshifter
They are a bird who sings alone at night
They are a bird who sings with other birds

When dawn breaks
They gratefully rearrange their particles 
(this hurts) but
They rouse their brothers awake
They make an invitation
They sing

Like A Language

In Columna is scored for chorus, 2 violins, cello, lute, and organ. The text (sung in Latin) is taken from Exodus 13:21 and 13:22:

21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

-Translation from The Holy Bible: New International Version

In Columna was commissioned by Seraphic Fire, Patrick Dupre Quigley, Artistic Director, in partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
