Hymn to Time

Ursula K. Le Guin's text is a meditation on the subject of time – its physics, its lyrical and emotional impact on us, and its rhythm. Using descriptive musical motives with diminution, this original work unfolds as a circle, beginning and ending at its most philosophical. The music includes hints at clocks ticking, Westminster chimes, soaring lyricism, minimalism, and a final chaconne.
