Description
This is the original version of Dawn in the room, with words inspired by Jules Supervielle as "transmutated" into English by my father S N Solomons and also the more recent version with words by my mother E M Solomons
(both are included in the zip file but the audio sample is the original as performed by the composer way back in 1987).
Both poems are very beautiful albeit different in impact and I hope the music, which is more or less the same for both, will appeal. The mode is Dorian, my favourite mode.
