This remarkable and descriptive work opens and closes with members of the ensemble whispering to one another creating a soft yet chaotic effect. The simple poem is by the composer: Whispers move in colored flight seekingsigns of nexttwilight purple as the violets grow warm but rich for all to know. As the piece progresses introduced by a solo piano the listener is taken through a dynamic range of emotional tension and release beforethe quiet mood returns to close outthis uniquely effective composition.
