As a followup to Tuesday’s video of Mary Kaiser reading “He Dreams a Mother,” we present a performance of the score that was inspired by the poem. Written by composer David Clay Mettens, the piece—set for soprano, flute, clarinet, viola, cello, piano, and a range of percussion—was performed live by All of the Above at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center this past spring. The score as well as Mary’s poem also appear in issue 13.1.
