Opis

for SSAA unaccompanied Garden of Dreams sets of fragments of text by Sappho, translated by Arthur Sanders Way and A. S. Kline. Sarah Quartel has used cross-rhythms, syncopation, and flowing melodic lines to create a sense of restless longing that reflects the sentiment of the text: that we all nurture a garden of dreams while we sleep.
