Program Notes
“Just as the nature of briars
is to tear flesh,
I have proceeded
through them.
Keep
the briars out,
they say.
You cannot live
and keep free of
the briars.”
-William Carlos Williams, The Ivy Crown
The Nature of Briars was written for the Orfeo Duo: Vita and Ishmael Wallace, with affection and admiration.
