I am trying to finish FIELD MUSIC: ASHES SUNLIGHT. This is a tough piece to write, for saxophone and cello; great players, but a tricky combo. I feel frustrated. And to make it worse, there is another piece waiting after that (violin and guitar). But I was just asked to do music for a new production of OEDIPUS AT COLONUS in conjunction with Oxford University Press's release of a new translation by the distinguished poet Eamon Grennan and classicist Rachel Kitzinger (both my former professors, I am so honored and excited) and so I would much rather work on this. This is always how it is; I think something better lies beyond where I am at the moment. Unsettling.
