Description:
Flute and guitar duo; along with string quartet; perform three movements based on Sephardic folk songs. The common theme is love just out of reach: the sad hope of finding love; the unrequited love for an older woman; the spurned love of the unfaithful ('Searching; rejection; and loss;' as Leisner says). The relevant folk songs are stated within each of the pieces - at the beginning of the first; in the middle of the second; at the end of the third; and are used as the base for Leisner's 'stream-of-conciousness meditations.'
