Perceptions

A Song Cycle for Solo Voice, Piano, and String Quartet

Approximate Duration- 9:30

I. Virtuous

What can be seen in the darkness

That cannot be seen in the light?

II. Be Weary

I often find the quickest road to greed

Is lined with false flowers of desire.

III. A Wonderful Paradox

There can be both wonder in complexity

And beauty in simplicity.

IV. Introspectus

V. Just Listen

Your tears will cease, by and by,

If you open your heart and close your eyes.

VI. Humility

Sometimes what man sees as truth

Is only what he can perceive through hazy shadows.
