We belong to the earth, introduced by his text, which consists of words by the Indian chief Seattle and a verse from the Bible (Job 36, verse 4), in nature-like and aural impressions of the primeval vagueness and the later material reality of the different peoples. The four-part mixed-voice choir is joined by a varied ensemble of percussion instruments, with vibraphone, cowbells and thunder stick in the foreground. At its concludion: Perhaps we are all brothers? We shall see! this piece, with its emphasis on percussion, is a fascinating work of our time.
