GLINT
OF
GREEN
Listen to/watch the full track here (4 minutes; listen with good sound!):
"Glint of Green" is an original song for voice and glass bottles, composed and performed by Masa Gibson. The text is from the poem "Young Witches" by Marian Thanhouser (1927):
Young witches have green eyes,
And watchful in a slanting wise;
Green as the ice in the North Sea,
Green as the leaf of a young birch-tree
In a forest of pines-a flickering green
That is more caught in a breath than seen.
Young witches have strange eyes
As spring twilight, and glances wise.
Green they are as the April rain,
And they darken never with love or pain.
Everything on the audio track other than the vocals was performed on glass bottles, images of which are featured in this video. LISTEN WITH GOOD SOUND! The track starts with a delicate jingling of bottle chimes followed by a faint bass drone...
