ἄγι δή, χέλυ δῖα, μοι φωνάεσσα γένοιο "yes! radiant lyre speak to me become a voice"-Sappho 118 (trans. Carson) This recording is joy, music making stripped to its barest "ESSENCE": two friends improvising together, crafting form, harmony, melody, and rhythm in the moment, as the poet and her lyre come together to prepare their own musical poetry in Sappho's fragment. Enjoy and breathe with us. -Garrett
