Written for soprano Jessica Summers and pianist Jelena Makarova to premiere on ‘Earth day’ 2023, this set of eight Japanese death poems is intended to explore themes surrounding climate change, and the gradual disappearance of wildlife.

The first part may be seen to represent the disappearance of life on earth, beginning with a desperate (but ultimately vain) plea for life to endure. The second part represents more of a farewell, exploring the transience of things, and concluding with the idea of nature enduring in the universe, regardless of the fate of the earth and humankind.
