three lines (after Roethke) (2008) flute & piano

I. The soul has many motions
II. The spirit moves yet stays

III. Being, not doing, is my first joy

I have always loved the poetry of Theodore Roethke. These pieces were suggested by the lines which became their titles. (that, and the flute and two piano staves makes three lines...)

This is a recording of the premiere, with Jean Benson on flute and Gregg Pauley on piano.

1. The soul has many Motions

2. The spirit moves, yet stays

3. Being, not doing, is my first joy
