The Phrase Where God Is Glad To Appear

[on the music of Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, premier violinist, Soul of the violin, in any performance]

(sostenuto)

looking out on the hills of glass

the angel of yearning cried
it is time only

we were not ready only

holding in one hand
a brief flare of music

in the other a cloud too

dense with dreams

looking out on the hills of glass

the warriors of beauty
cried

in one eye, a tear:

to drown the whole earth;

in the other,

a brief flare of music
a brief flare of music
