    “Sparkling parted tongues of flame crackling forth from the apostles’ heads, their mouths spouting languages intelligible to all”. Music can be a kind of ‘outpouring’, a creative combustion that we try to make intelligible with words. The piece begins as a steady, simple walk – like strolling down an old wooden pier. The boards creak, nails shake loose, the whole rickety structure shudders and quakes. Right at the end of the wharf, where the water laps the wood, there’s a barnacle – beautiful, ugly, and stubborn all at the same time. How can this small creature cling to one place for its entire life?
