I Come From Water is a chamber work for Mezzo-soprano, Baritone, Alto Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon Violin, Cello and, briefly, Bass Drum. The piece was inspired by news that the US may be planning to perform missile tests in the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Scientists are concerned that the tests may cause marine animals who orient themselves via sound waves, such as dolphins and whales, to become permanently deaf.
The music is intended to evoke impressions of a life in water, beginning with non-verbal communication between fish in streams. Images, sensations and sounds of water are expressed throughout the piece as salmon make their way from streams to rivers to the ocean. Eventually, we hear a sense of quiet communion in the ocean, which is interrupted by three explosions. The marine animals respond with panic, followed by silence. The final measures are intended to express grieving.
