Ensemble: Baritone -------------Clarinet in Bb/Bass Clarinet Bassoon Horn in F Electric Guitar (distortion pedal, compression pedal) Violin Viola Violoncello


iii

i will wade out till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls Will i complete the mystery of my flesh I will rise After a thousand years lipping flowers And set my teeth in the silver of the moon - e.e. cummings (1894-1962)
