About the piece
“July,
and the rich apples
once again falling..
You put them to your lips,
as you were meant to,
enter a sweetness
the earth wants to give.”
This setting of Jane Hirshfield’s “for a wedding on mount Tamalpais” relies on triadic and added tone harmonies with Lydian inflections to capture the brightness and ripeness of the poem’s sensual language.
