"All Night"
This piece was by the imagery of a Japanese
tradition which the souls of the
departed by candle-lit lanterns out on
waterways to the ocean, sometimes in
little boats; along imagery of the Celtic
All Souls Night celebrations, at time huge
bonfires were lit not only to the new year,
but to the souls of the departed. - L.M.

"Bonny Portmore"
The destruction of old growth forests has an
conservation issue in recent years, but it
is not a new phenomenon. Over the many
of old oak forests were leveled for military
and shipbuilding purposes. Only has there
been an effort to reestablish great hardwoods.
The Great Oak of stood on the property
of Portmore on the shore of Lough Beg. - L.M.

waiting to do something else, we
accidentally and recorded

"Courtyard Lullaby"
The photographs appear in this booklet were
taken at a 16th century lodge in Portugal,
Elisabeth Feryn and I stayed for a week. Within
the was a courtyard, marked at each corner by
trees. The feel of the place reminded me of
the Unicorn tapestries hang in The Cloisters
in New York City. The and the lodge are
both with earthy, pre-Christian iconography -
depicting the mysterious life and death of the
seasons. It was in this courtyard that piece was
conceived. - L.M.

"The Old Ways"
I spent a most New Year's Eve in Doolin,
County Clare, Ireland years ago, and was moved
by the antiquity of the of the celebrations. Yet
I was met by deep reminders they may be the

Here are Shakespeare's thoughts
on this visit. this song occurs

Cymbeline, which was written the

in ancient Britain when the were
the last remaining outpost of
the old order. - L.M.
