Evening
Waterfall comes from a
cycle of eleven a
cappella choral pieces
derived from Early Moon,
a collection of poetry by
Carl Sandburg. The images
in these simple, direct
lyrics have a depth and
resonance that all but
cry outfor musical
expression. Evening
Waterfall is one of the
easiest, certainly the
most diatonic, of the
Early Moon pieces.
Imagine yourself, or
perhaps, your childhood
self, sitting in a tree
or lying on the grass in
the gloaming ofa summer's
evening. The sounds of
birds, the feel of wind
on your skin, the sight
of early stars: all seem
to conspire to give you a
name...to call you by
your real name. But such
knowledge--a kind of
certainty about one's
selfand place--is
ephemeral. It cannot be
willed to appear, or to
stay. We are left alone,
wondering what was the
name you called me? and
why did you go so
soon?
