Composer's note


This piece can be used to surprise and startle, its jagged harmonies and sudden outbursts of sound conveying something of the startling surprise of love itself.

 Words 


Love


Love is an infinite sea whose skies are a bubble of foam

Know that it is the waves of love that turn the wheels of heaven

Without love nothing in this world would have life.


Jalaluddin Rumi

trans. Patrick Heavey



This translation was published in the May/June 1999 issue of the journal Spirituality published in Dublin, Ireland.  It is the first stanza of a longer poem.
