A meditation for ensemble, concerned with ensemble textures and silences; a companion piece to Accolade. I expect I’ll hear some tone-deaf knuckle-draggers barking and woofing that this piece is "atonal." But I’m getting used to the racket, and in fact it helps me sleep at night.

I offer it here with sincere gratitude to my esteemed friends Cedric Peachey and Patrick Ross-Ross, who stood by me with dignity, patience, and wisdom during a recent crisis.
