These lines were inspired by Kate's performance of Carl Vine's "Inner World"
at St Arvans Church on October 3, 1998

THE LIGHT SOURCE DIMS, THEN SWIFTLY FADES TO NAUGHT,
AND ALL WITH EARS TO HEAR, AND EYES TO SEE
ARE IN A WEB OF SPINDRIFT, MOONBEAMS, CAUGHT
BY "INNER WORLD'S" MELODIC MYSTERY.

INSTRUMENT AND PLAYER BLEND IN RAPT ACCORD
EXPLOITING TONE AND TEMPO, RANGE, NUANCE;
AGE-OLD CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SOUL OUT-POURED
CONJOIN TO WEAVE THIS MAGICAL ROMANCE

THE BUSY STRINGS, TOO SOON, ARE STILLED, AND THUS WE LEARN
THE TRANSCENDETAL BANNERS ARE RE-FURLED:
A FLEETING, ELFIN SMILE ENJOINS US TO RETURN
REFRESHED, REPLENISHED, TO THIS OUTER WORLD
