One and Only Day
A modern madrigal about the experience of the present moment.

In the Sky of Winter
SSAA a cappella
This is a setting for women’s voices of another poem by Tom Hennen (the other being “In the Sky of Winter”).
This is a meditation on the sensation of the present moment: “There has only ever been one day, and it happens over and over.” The music is madrigalian: imitative, conversational, and full of text painting – a tribute to my love and years of singing Renaissance polyphony.
Text
There has only ever been one day and it happens over and
over. No one knows where it came from. It slides through time
like the prow of a ship through sleeping water. It bumps
against the shore of daylight each morning and sets sail alone
in the dark at night. Sometimes under the awful glitter of stars.
Sometimes into a thickly falling rain, rain that sends the animals
back to their dens and causes the woods to drip and become the
color of owls.
– Tom Hennen
