How the Light Loves to Fall

for electronics and 2 voices (tenor + Mezzo or soprano)

2025

"This is what we have forgotten about the sky (that we have made Overlord without consulting him), how much it desires to fall like the angels ... How much it desires to spill its sunlight and its starlight into the inky darkness forever. How much it desires to quench the soil with its sky waters."

   ~Lee Morgan, Standing and Not Falling

How the Light Loves to Fall is an emotional exploration of cosmologies that disrupt false binaries between above and below.

Written for two voices and electronics, this piece is a wordless, immersive experience designed to invoke light pouring into the velvety dark soils. It is a meditation that calls to those spirits and ways of being that wed the land and the sky.
