Description

Spring Triptych sets transcendentalist texts of Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau. The first movement, To Youth bursts with the extravagant energy of young lives, while There I Wander with Them celebrates the value of chosen family and living in community. Green Is the Color of Its Flame presents the symbolism of new life bursting forth across the landscape every spring. As a whole, the three movements offer hope that even in the darkest, coldest days of winter, resurrection is just around the corner. All movements available individually as well.
