More Details

Summary:

"In their original context of performance, these poems came through as quirky impromptu toasts: speeches that would interrupt a birthday reception with unexpected statements and meditations. The scoring for violin and actor ... opens to the possibility of presenting them in any language, if a rhythmically suitable translation is available or made." -- [Performance notes]
