// Originally created & offered in 2013. These original print/press editions are among the very last of this work ( under 20 copies remain ).
An original score composed by William Parker for string quartet & alto saxophone, created to accompany a moving series (and montage) of ink & wash drawings by Lois Eby, punctuated with five poems written and read by David Budbill. Inspired by, and drawn from, the landscape and people of Vermont (where Eby and Budbill both long resided); ultimately, as the title states, this work is a meditation on being native, to a state, town, city, country, or other delineation of physical space.
Music composed by William Parker & performed by:
Jason Kao Hwang: violin
Jean Cook: violin
Nicole Federici: viola
Alexander Waterman: cello
Daniel Carter: alto saxophone
