I was
immediately drawn to the
quartet's poignant,
intimate and expressive
sound world, the
evocative and hauntingly
beautiful voice of
contralto Karen Clark and
the poetry of Henry David
Thoreau whose words so
thoroughly capture the
transcendental spirit of
nineteenth century New
England life. Living and
working in the high hills
of rural New Hampshire
provided a synergy of
poetry and music that
formed an ideal union to
help frame the mood,
character and direction
of this work. Joseph
Schwantner.
