"In the Language of Mediation" was originally composed for viola and piano and dedicated to the memory of Ingrid Buschmann. The solo for this arrangement for chamber orchestra may be played on viola, clarinet or alto saxophone. Clarinetist Andrew Friedman wrote, "The work takes on a simple, heartfelt aesthetic, reflecting Buschmann's brand of gentle kindness and her love of the natural world with singing [solo] clarinet lines and sparkling textures in the accompaniment." In three movements:

1. Observations from a Rooftop Garden (ca. 5'15)

2. Contemplating a Mountain with Love (ca. 5')

3. Reflecting on a Visit with Birds (ca. 3'30)
