Programme Note
For violincello and barytone.
Words by a Japanese anonymous zen-munk.
Because the whole is part
there is not a whole
anywhere
that is not part
And all those happenings
a billion years ago
are happening
all around us: Time
Indeed this morning
the sparrow hopped about
in that nebulous
a million lightyears hence
And since the morning is void
anything can be
since mornings a billion years from now
are nothingness.
We can behold them.
The sparrow stirs
The universe moves slightly.
