Description:
For this song I wanted words and music that spoke to the strong and enduring relationships among women. I found “… and her ashes scattered upon the waters”, a poem by Peggy Dunstan in which she writes with such vivid and compelling imagery of the continuing bonds between two women, even after the death of one. The music I have written is shaped by Peggy’s words—in turn strong, brittle, sharp, dissonant, tender, translucent, fragile,
yearning, and above all, enduring.
