The imagery is from a notation system Lili and I developed for this ongoing project.
As in previous installments, the music is based on a scale derived from the work of Erv Wilson.

LOVE SONG (Nootka)
No matter how hard I try
to forget you,
you always
come back to my mind,
and when you hear me singing you may know
I am weeping for you.
PLAINT AGAINST THE FOG (Nootka)
Don’t you ever,
You up in the sky,
Don’t you ever get tired
Of having the clouds between you and us?
PERUVIAN DANCE SONG (Ayacucho)
Wake up, woman,
Rise up, woman,
In the middle of the street,
A dog howls.
May the death arrive
May the dance arrive
Comes the dance
You must dance,
Comes the death
You can’t help it!
Ah! what a chill,
Ah! what a wind….
SONG OF A MAN WHO RECEIVED A VISION (Teton Sioux)
Friends, behold!
Sacred I have been made.
Friends, behold!
In a sacred manner
I have been influenced
At the gathering of the clouds.
Sacred I have been made,
Friends, behold!
Sacred I have been made.
