Poem by Richard Leach selected and interpreted / recited / sung by Christiane Offenbar
The ice is thin, the ice is thin –
the shore more distant year by year,
and nearly sixty since I left it now.
There is no going back again.
And I am old yet not so very old –
I bless the ice. I pray for cold.
Thin Ice is a piece for Alto (Christiane Offenbar in adaptive JI), Female Choir in 16 edo, Harp in 8 edo, bass drum and tamtam.
