Composer: Tatum G. Jepson
MIDI Realization using Note Performer 4 Orchestral Sound Library
I. Dream: What Is This World?
II. Elegy: Sing My Song... Sing...
III. Skylarking
IV. Epilogue: What's Done Is Done; or; The End
I. A dream of a foreign land; exotic sounds, an uneasy feel, and overall, the idea that one is not where they are welcome, or at the very least, the idea that one is uncomfortable with their current setting, and doings.
II. A linear, slow, and singing elegy. The music is intensely inspired by Wagner's Tristan.
III. Title is taken from the British rock band XTC's 1986 album, Skylarking, in particular, one of the tracks on the album, titled, 1000 Umbrellas. The music itself is inspired by this tune, and the intense string arrangement done by David Gregory. It is also the shortest movement of the work, and is effectively seen as the strings, "passing the time," between the other, more serious movements.
IV. Each member of the quartet signs off, and gives a rather longing farewell. At times healing and meditative, at other moments, slightly on edge and uncertain of the future.
