NOTES FOR PERFORMANCE
Accidentals hold through the bar, and are immediately cancelled at the next barline. This also applies for the following microtonal accidentals:
µ quarter-tone higher
B quarter-tone lower than natural (quarter-tone higher than a normal ‘flat’ accidental)
÷ three quarter-tones higher (quarter-tone higher than sharp)
Bb three-quarter tones lower (quarter-tone lower than flat)
JK one-sixth tone deviation in direction of arrow (if down, similar to tuning of 7th harmonic)
Occasionally, if it's switching mode a lot, accidentals are given in front of every note.
HORN
The horn makes use of natural harmonics. Where harmonics occur, the fundamental is indicated (by its letter name) at sounding pitch with a bracket generally showing the affected notes for the purposes of clarity.
AMPLIFICATION
The singer should be lightly amplified, ideally with a contact mic. The strings may also be lightly amplified. If the acoustic is dry and the sound engineer sensitive, the whole ensemble (except percussion) can be slightly amplified, as long as the winds do not dominate the sound.

Texts for the movements
IOne Fine Day
One swallow – or one fine day – does not make a spring. Nor does one day make one blessed or happy.
(from Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book I, based on FH Peters translation)
IIThat which is by nature
None of the moral excellences or virtues is implanted in us by nature; for that which is by nature cannot be altered by training. For instance, a stone naturally tends to fall downwards, and you could not train it to rise upwards, though you tried to do so by throwing it up ten thousand times, nor could you train fire to move downwards, nor accustom anything which naturally behaves in one way to behave in any other way.
The virtues, then, come neither by nature nor against nature, but nature gives the capacity for acquiring them, and this is developed by training.
(from Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book II, based on FH Peters translation)
III The Wheel
The Wheel
Through winter-time we call on spring, And through the spring on summer call, And when a bounding hedges ring Declare that winter’s best of all; And after that there’s nothing good Because the spring-time has not come – Nor know what disturbs our blood Is but its longing for the tomb.
Youth and Age
Much did I rage when young, Being by the world oppressed, But now with flattering tongue It speeds the parting guest.
W.B. Yeats, The Wheel, Youth and Age
V Absorbé e dans l’é ternité
Quand je considè re la petite duré e de ma vie, absorbé e dans l’é ternité pre ́ ce ́ dant et suivant [pré ce ́ dente et suivante,] le petit espace que je remplis et meme que je vois, abime dans l’infinie immensite des espaces que j’ignore et qui m’ignorent, je m’effraie et m’é tonne de me voir ici plutô t que là , car il n’y a point de raison pourquoi ici plutot que la, pourquoi a present plutot que lors. Qui m’y a mis? Par l’ordre et la conduite de qui ce lieu et ce temps a-t-il é te ́ destiné a ̀ moi? Memoria hospitis unius diei praetereuntis.
ISSUU Version for perusal only
(When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time been allotted to me? Memoria hospitis unius diei prætereuntis.)
É coulement – C’est une chose horrible de sentir s’é couler tout ce qu’on possè de. (Instability —It is a horrible thing to feel all that we possess slipping away.)
Pascal, Pensées
VI I will not, cannot go
The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending Their bare boughs weighed with snow. And the storm is fast descending, And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me, Wastes beyond wastes below; But nothing drear can move me; I will not, cannot go.
Emily Brönte
Besides nature and necessity and chance, the only remaining cause of change is reason and human agency in general. We deliberate, then, about things that are brought about by our own agency.
(from Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, based on FH Peters translation)
VII The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner
Although I shelter from the rain Under a broken tree, My chair was nearest to the fire In every company That talked of love or politics, Ere Time transfigured me.
ISSUU Version for perusal only
Though lads are making pikes again For some conspiracy, And crazy rascals rage their fill At human tyranny; My contemplations are of Time That has transfigured me.
There’s not a woman turns her face Upon a broken tress, And yet the beauties that I loved Are in my memory; I spit into the face of Time That has transfigured me.
W.B. Yeats, The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner
VIII How can we know the Dancer from the Dance?
What youthful mother, a shape upon her lap Honey of generation had betrayed, And that must sleep, shriek, struggle to escape As recollection or the drug decide, Would think her son, did she but see that shape With sixty or more winters on its head, A compensation for the pang of his birth, Or the uncertainty of his setting forth?
Plato thought nature but a spume that plays Upon a ghostly paradigm of things; Solider Aristotle played the taws Upon the bottom of a king of kings; World-famous golden-thighed Pythagoras Fingered upon a fiddle-stick or strings What a star sang and careless Muses heard: Old clothes upon old sticks to scare a bird.
Both nuns and mothers worship images, But those the candles light are not as those That animate a mother's reveries, But keep a marble or a bronze repose. And yet they too break hearts—O Presences That passion, piety or affection knows, And that all heavenly glory symbolise— O self-born mockers of man's enterprise;
Labour is blossoming or dancing where The body is not bruised to pleasure soul, Nor beauty born out of its own despair, Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil. O chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?
From W.B. Yeats, Among Schoolchildren
