Night Landed is based on a poem entitled "Echo" by the Iranian contemporary poet, Sohrab Sepehri. The translation of "Echo" is as follows:
“Upon the river of terror
I am a trembling leaf…
I passed beyond the sounds,
I abandoned the light…
The stars
Shivered in my cold veins,
The earth throbbed,
The air moved in waves…
I heard the dark music of your body…
I am the echo of your solitude,
The echo of your darkness,
You heard my silence.
Like a breeze, I will arise beyond me,
I will open the doors,
I will pass in the eternal night.
You opened your eyes,
Night landed in me.

PROGRAM NOTE
Pietà was written during the Spring and Summer of 2017 for Pala Garcia, John Popham and Renate Rohlfing for the Loretto Festival 2017.

Our father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. 
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
…

Pour the unhappiness out
From your too bitter heart,
Which grieving will not sweeten.

Poison grows in this dark.
It is in the water of tears
Its black blooms rise.
…

“…I’m tired now.
Sometimes I talk too much. That’s happiness.”
…

Give us this day our daily bread…

(Fragments from: Lord’s Prayer – English vernacular version, Another Weeping Woman – Wallace Stevens, Three Views of a Mother – John Ciardi)

Pietà (piano trio)

Zvon /zʋôn/ means “bell” in some Slavic languages or "bell sound" in Russian. Whereas European bells produce tuned intervals, Russian bells produces an overlay of different non tempered frequencies with the strongest ones being nearby intervals of 9th and seconds. Harmonies in this piece are based on the spectrals of the most famous Russian Bells from Pskov, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Yaroslavl; a total of nine bells with the oldest originating in 1547 (Pskov) and the youngest — XIX-XX century Moscow. Rhythms are inspired by traditional patterns of orthodox bell ringing.
