HOME IN ME

by by Andrea Clearfield| poetry by Sienna Craig

Commissioned by National Concerts and a consortium of treble choirs for premiere at Carnegie Hall, February 16, 2020, Dr. Sandra Snow, conductor

Home in Me is a 3-part piece on "what is home" - in place/body, speech and heart/mind. The poetry was created specifically for this piece by Dr. Sienna Craig.

I. Body
When our bodies turn this wheel
Crack the vessel, learn what’s real
Leave an echo of the self
Moment to moment we touch, we dwell, (but still…)

When we yearn to feel awake
Creature of our boundless ache
Limb by limb we make the climb
Begin, begun this dance of time

Stones in our pockets
Wind in our hair
Wondering, wandering, welcomed, where?

When our bodies feel this burn
How do we reclaim, return?
Leave an imprint on the skin
Moment to moment, we touch, we shed….begin

How do we begin to belong?

A future seeded in the past
This inner landscape, calm at last
We live the earth we cultivate
How does history resonate?

When our bodies turn this wheel
Crack the vessel, learn what’s real
Leave an echo of the self
Moment to moment, we touch, we feel, we molt, reveal, we shed, begin, again…

How do we begin to belong? How do we begin? Where do we begin? When do we begin?

Feel the pull of home (hands)
Hear the call of home (head)
Hold the still…of home (heart)
