Order of the Day for flute quartet

Description

Instrumental version of my vocal setting of my father’s poem “Order of the Day”

AT DAWN

The new light softly streams,
Through the lace curtains,
And I try to mend my dreams
Till I’m myself again.

AT NOON

I look into the sky,
Where cirrus clouds collide,
Laze in the summer light,
While the breeze talks to me.

AT EVENING

A time for rose-red thought,
Long shadows casting,
Memories fleeting,
Fading and fraught.

AT DUSK

Dusk is for grieving,
And for private tears.
Perhaps for believing
Despite what we fear.

At Dawn …. At Noon …….
At Evening …….
At Dusk ….At Dusk ….
