Earth and Sky

Commissioned by the BBC for the 2000 Proms music festival, this work presents a vision for the future. No matter how technologically developed the world may become, the big questions will always remain the same: "How shall I know where I should go? How may I see the I that's me?" This work explores these life questions while simultaneously exploring the mysteries of music. A mystical piano part and poignant percussion pair with treble voices singing the poetry of Vikram Seth, culminating in a paradoxical musical experience that explores the certainty of death and the search for life's purpose.
