Late, the same afternoon.

Vanity of vanities.
All is vanity and pursuit of the wind. 
These two phrases afford all the literature of the earth. 
Vanity of vanities, yes.

This work is scored for piano and cello with a duration of five minutes. The title, Samsāra, comes from Buddhist term meaning “Cycle of aimless drifting, wandering or mundane existence.” Because of the cyclic idea, it is composed with a pitch matrix, but not composed by using serial techniques. Instead, the 12-tone matrix is used freely, with particular sets of pitches extracted to provide the pitch material for the work based on an intuitive compositional approach.
