TIMOTHY JON THARALDSON

iii. Spokes Text by Euan Tait Double choir - SSA and SATB

Songs are threads in the shared air, sparks of sound all breathe, the spokes of a forgotten, invisible, connective wheel, where I can sense you, as love, you muttering music, music of the overheard heart, the secrets you didn’t mean to escape, here, aloud, flooding the entire self, making the blood dance.

Songs. Your escaped music. The grasses in the evening light, moving suddenly to the sound of a quietly breathed, barely audible music.

SSA choir starts the piece off stage or in the back of the hall and meets the SATB choir at the downbeat of measure 13. Measures 1-10 can be repeated, if neccessary, with the men and women alternating "barely audible music."
