Lyrics by Ursula K. Le Guin
Music by Lee Kesselman
Hymn to Time is a choral meditation on the subject of TIME -- its physics, its lyrical and emotional impact on us, and its rhythm. The piece unfolds as a circle, beginning and ending at its most philosophical. The music includes hints at clocks ticking, Westminster chimes, soaring lyricism, minimalism, and a final chaconne.
