Story behind the song
A plaintive and contemplative interplay of oboe and piano. I got out of bed at night after reading Rumi, thinking to finish the poem "when on waves", whose last line has eluded me for years. This music came to me instead. Here is the poem, with this year's version of the last line. Or maybe it just doesn't want a last line at all... when on waves of endless causes i ride no wave my own but no wave not my dear child the unceasing change my seat the vast love my compass and guide the untold openness my clear sky the ever presence my soul’s constant wind right here, an endless song of sure liberty
