PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

Deep Blue Ocean - II. Sunbeams And Waterfalls

A song about loneliness and alienation, about feeling alone in a city full of people

Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

J’attends
		          (à Frank Dana)

J’attends depuis que je m’ennuie
À noyer mes rêves
(J’attends)… J’attends le jour, j’attends la nuit
Que le jour se lève

J’attends le bus de mes envies
Mais c’est jour de grève
J’attends de sortir de ce puits
Dans ma vie sans sève

J’attends de pouvoir dire merci
Si on me relève
J’attends de revoir l’infini
Que mes yeux s’élèvent au

Ciel, qu’on me donne un ciel
Un grand ciel d’azur !
(break)

Je m’y envolerai
Sans aucun appareil
Et je m’y laverai
De rayons de soleil

Et si les anges rient
Je leur rappellerai
Qu'avec la poésie
La vie résiste au vrai

Là, pieds et poings déliés
Les yeux écarquillés
Je pourrai dérider
Tous mes rêves fanés

(J’attends)… Et je retrouverai
(J’attends)… Mes plus belles années
(J’attends)… Repartir à zéro
(J’attends)… Redevenir Zorro
(J’attends)… Croire aux soleils levants
(J’attends)… Avec des yeux d’enfant
(J’attends)… Mais sur l’île aux trésors
(J’attends)… Ne jamais trouver l’or
(J’attends)… Redécouvrir l’amour
(J’attends)… Sans son bec de vautour

I am waiting
		          (to Frank Dana)

I've been waiting since I was bored
Drowning my dreams
(I'm waiting)... I'm waiting for the day, I'm waiting for the night
For the day to break

I'm waiting for the bus of my desires
But it's strike day
I'm waiting to get out of this well
In my life without sap

I'm waiting to say thank you
If I am relieved
I'm waiting to see the infinite
That my eyes rise to the

Heaven, that they give me a sky
A great blue sky!
(break)

I will fly there
Without any device
And I will wash myself
With rays of sunshine

And if the angels laugh
I'll remind them
That with poetry
Life resists the true

There, untied feet and fists
Eyes wide open
I will be able to cheer up
All my faded dreams

(I'm waiting)... And I will find
(I wait)... My best years
(I am waiting)... Start again
(I wait)... Become again Zorro
(I am waiting)... Believe in rising suns
(I am waiting)... With childish eyes
(I wait)... But on the treasure island
(I am waiting)... Never find the gold
(I am waiting)... Rediscover love
(I wait)... Without his vulture's beak

Just Breathe

when the Earth was wrapped in digits
and our cave got awfully small
we were rescued from the puppet show
and the open sky beckoned us all

as we zig-zagged towards the hilltops
some of us started turning around
they said the air's too crisp
these clouds—confusing
and the sunlight's getting too loud
too many shadows marching...

so much softer, our cave floor
and our walls are paper thick
we've got everything here we can pay for
dream awake and dream mighty big

outside the air is a mess
the clouds, they'll have us choosing
and the sunlight keeps correcting itself

our shadow-casters know best—
believing is soothing
we sing "red" then we take our blue pill

know what's good for you, little mouse
know what's good for you

and our spirit's rising
when the shadows march
we can reach horizons
when the shadows march
our seated souls are soaring
when the shadows march
just don't buy what's confusing or boring
the shadows are clear
as they march

watch as they march…

what good's an Earth that's drenched in digits
if we're boxed in sitting small
and even those who run the puppet shows
are content to project on a wall

outside the temperatures rise
the one true horizon is hurling us into the abyss
we don't get to claw back out
if we can't tell what lulls from what is

eat every shadow marching
it’s good for you, little mouse

stay tuned for your pipers
and their shadows’ march
there will be no survivors
while the shadows march
pick the facts that best suit you (aah-ah)
pick the shadows that suit you (aah-ah)
your shadows salute you (aah-ah)
and they'll march
and they'll march for you now
