About the Score

The poem "Fishing in the Keep of Silence" conveys the peacefulness that we all can experience when we know, as God does, that all is well in the world. The SATB a cappella setting employs rich harmonies and subtle phrasing to magnify the beautiful images of this poem by the brilliant Linda Gregg:

There is a hush now while the hills rise up and God is going to sleep. He trusts the ship of Heaven to take over and proceed beautifully as he lies dreaming in the lap of the world.

He knows the owls will guard the sweetness of the soul in their massive keep of silence, looking out with eyes open or closed over the length of Tomales Bay that the egrets conform to, whitely broad in flight, white and slim in standing.

God, who thinks about poetry all the time, breathes happily as He repeats to Himself: there are fish in the net, lots of fish this time in the net of the heart.
