Forever – Is Composed of Nows

For SSAA Chorus, Vibraphone, Harp, 8 Cellos, and Electronica

“Forever — is composed of Nows —”
by Emily Dickinson

Forever — is composed of Nows —
’Tis not a different time —
Except for Infiniteness —
And Latitude of Home —

From this — experienced Here —
Remove the Dates — to These —
Let Months dissolve in further Months —
And Years — exhale in Years —

Without Debate — or Pause —
Or Celebrated Days —
No different Our Years would be
From Anno Dominies —
