the book of Ahania

(2022)

4:00- for baritone saxophone and bass flute

Ahania, the female emanation of Urizen, is his soul. Urizen becomes jealous and ashamed of his own feminine emanation–he sees her as “sinful” and hides her away until she becomes an unembodied shadow that wanders the earth, becoming “the mother of Pestilence.”

Premiered by Kyle Hutchins, baritone saxophone and Dalia Chin, bass flute at the Eighth Blackbird Studio in Chicago, IL (09/22)
