About Either / Or

The text for Either/Or for soprano and percussion is as follows: The question (first four lines, in English, German, French and Italian) is finally answered by the early Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi, who lived over 2,000 years ago. Zhuang Zi was a follower of Lao Zi, the founder of Taoism. Zhuang's style is often playful, as in these questions. But his conclusions are deeply meaningful, as in the Epilogue.

Either ... Or
Entweder ... Oder
l'Un ... ou ... l'Autre
l'Uno ... o ...l'Altro

Epilogue:
The fire goes out.
Somewhere ...
A new fire begins!
Zhuang zi (transl. By LKM)

Either/Or received its premiere on the Composer's Forum, Washington, DC, on April 26, 2010
