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
