“Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)
This work for cello and piano belongs to a series of my recent compositions in which I explore the perceptual qualities of tonality, circular systems, various additive and subtractive structural processes, and their relation to our inner sense of the self.
