Programme Note
For soprano and string quartet, 2012
Text by the composer
Just outside
I’ll probably never see
Again that Linden tree,
never those city gates.
So long ago.
So far the place.
I left to find my peace.
“Come here and you’ll be free.
Come here to find your peace!”
Withering branches rustling calls.
You know, I can’t find peace.
Haunting me.
Wooing me.
Do you see me
Here it’s me old friend, Linden tree!
I’m just outside those gates!
So far the place.
I come to find peace.
I come to find peace.
Just outside those city gates.
