Geoff Palmer's new song cycle, "Unidentified Edges", is composed on poems by Anne Cluysenaar (for voice and cello).
Her texts evoke the ancient ideas of the Universal Music, using modern imagery from physics and astronomy, such as the Higgs boson and the Kepler space telescope. We pair them with a collection of John Dowland, including some of his most philosophical lute songs. To finish with "...into the world of light", by Geoff on a text of 17th-century metaphysical poet Henry Vaughan, composed as an elegy to Anne Cluysenaar.
