Note:
Ephemera is a work about the fleeting passage of time and the fantastical transformations that can occur in only a moment. Like the lacewing, perhaps the most primitive creature among those who undergo metamorphosis, the music between the instruments- fleeting, ephemeral gestures- is under constant transformation. Though quite small, the tremulous call of the lacewing is a low song, perhaps something in the range of the bass clarinet or the cello.
