Daniel Brewbaker's Irish Cantata is based on poems that express a search for ancient origins, for our most primal earthly and heavenly progenitors. This second movement, derived from a Wallace Stevens poem, describes “worn cliffs towering up over the Atlantic” and the “spacious, solitary world in which we used to exist.” Uilleann Pipes and String Orchestra parts for the full work available on rental from Boosey & Hawkes.  Treble version available in full work, M051329731.
