Daniel Brewbaker's Irish Cantata is based on poems that express a search for ancient origins, for our most primal earthly and heavenly progenitors. This second movement, derived from a Wallace Stevens poem, describes worn cliffs towering up over the Atlantic and the spacious, solitary world in which we used to exist.
