Programme Note
Rising abruptly from the landscape, sheer, imposing, and breathtaking, these exposures of bedrock, weathered, crowning mountain tops, reveal a primordial earth. Cultures, societies, and civilizations that revel in the tor’s shadow are but a moment in their ever-watching eyes.
The ensemble enacts a ceremony.
