Foal in the Sunlight (2021) — 4 min.

View score here.

For vocal sextet (SATTBB). Written for Variant 6.

The words and music are inspired by the year I spent on a horse ranch in Bastrop, Texas, a place unruly with life. Something was always being born overnight.

Foal in the sunlight

All eyes crawling to you

Spread your wings in burning dew

I'm clasping the clod

That set you loose

That broke the cloud 

That keeps collapsing on

The heap of you

Foal in the muscle slick of moonlight

All eyes flashing in recoil

Ocean foaming from the soil

Foal, floating feather

Flung from the flesh of the femur

I'm clasping the clod

That set you loose

That broke the cloud 

That keeps collapsing on

The heap of you
