ABOUT:
The first of Lee Mitchell's Six Poems for String Quartet, The pearl of Palestine shimmers and gleams within its lush melodies and harmonies.
Then rose Jerusalem from the mucus mire, as clover sprig beneath the gait of Man. Broken teeth of tethered stone, magenta weeping on the night; and crested hoopoe sprawls a glossy plume and weaves a drunken trail of fright. A jasmine moon upon the dangled string; blinks the morning, coy to blush. From Cerberus in the catacomb to Ingeborg pining at her loom. There, drenched in citrus hush of prayer, chloroforms the twilight air to mourn. Half sunken, half devoured, kneels the pearl of Palestine. And Helios sheds his gown of sloe, and grips the Earth all gauntlet gold, awash with music ringing.
DURATION: 2'35"
