Love the slightly eerie quality of this. In the music in particular. Love the vocal double that is really impactful.

great work with the voice... sounds amazing [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Lyrics:

There’s someone calling me
Somewhere down the line
And they telling me
It will all be fine

So I have to go on
Running down this road
And I have to find her
It’s like she’s calling me home

She told me
You should take your time
You’ll find me
Somewhere down the line

There’s no need
To hurry to get here
I’ll be waiting
You do not have to fear

There’s someone calling me
From somewhere far behind
She says she wants to see me 
Somewhere down the line
So I’ll wait right here
I’ll let her take her time
It’s a long hard road
But I know that she’ll be fine

Calling Me

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.

Song about Flowers for low Fidelity 

Flower flower Jazz

Used to try to explain my point of view
I used to think that I owe it to the world
But now I know 
if there's a soul
the soul is political

Don't waste your time getting me to undress
when morning comes I'm back to being a guess
our every breath is a journey 
we must take alone

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
We're in love with our own chatter
can't tell physical from mental

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
when we rise above our clutter
we just live in our own temples

We can agree on the color of a rose
just not on who gets to take it.
We see the sameness from our head to our toes
but only differences are sacred.

A newborn child lets out a lifelong battle cry.
We're running wild
and find nothing would satisfy.

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
when we look out for each other
we always get so sentimental

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
when we think we found our voice
our words are purely ornamental

Used to want to defend my point of view
I used to think that it had to do with truth
but now I know 
if there's a soul
the soul is political

Don't waste your time getting me to agree 
I'll follow you when I can unfollow me
and now you know
if I have a soul
my soul is political

soul sou-ou-oul

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
We never judge ourselves
but set records for judgmental...

We're made of simple matter
made of simple matter
made of simple...
when we rise above ourselves
it always feels so incidental...

The Soul Is Political

"Knockoff is a beautiful little ditty, with the soft vocal style mixing together in lovely fashion with the dual guitar melodies that provide most of the music here. It’s catchy, but it never sounds too commercialised, and it’s one of those tracks that you’ll have to listen to a few times before you fully hear everything – it sounds simple at first, but there’s a lot more going on in the background than you realise at first." - By Jane Howkins

Knockoff

Duration: 13'
Instrumentation: for trumpet, violin, cello, piano, marimba (six-mallets), percussion, harp and banjo

PROGRAM NOTES
Journey into Courage is a documentary directed by Bess O'Brien about domestic violence in rural Vermont. It was originally a touring stage production with a cast of women from rural Vermont who were victims of domestic violence. The documentary is largely made up of footage shot during the tour as well as interviews of the women in the stage production.

Journey into Courage Suite is derived from the soundtrack for the documentary and is intended to be performed on stage as a suite for eight musicians. The performing ensemble can choose which versions (if there are multiple ones) of each piece it will perform. The short version, e.g. without repeats, may be performed if a shorter suite is desired.
