Based on music by Richie Domingue. Wanted to see what it would sound played by a whole Orchestra, with harmony parts.

Composed during a Desert Lotus Zen sesshin led by John Tarrant at Lake Pleasant, Phoenix, AZ. My sesshin koan was that I wanted to try and preserve the spirit and harmonic content of Richie's (unfinished) version and much as possible, but give the lyrics a proper poetic meter, and add some more harmonic interest. Hopefully I succeeded. Please excuse my raspy vocals :-)
