about
"Findings" is based on the Song of the Sibyl from the ancient poetic Edda, an account of the defeat of the gods in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarök when the Earth sinks into the sea, the Sun turns black and the stars are cast down form heaven. The verses we hear here, however, tell of the gods’ eventual return when “they shall live in delight forver”. The piece was composed at Easter 1999 and expresses GKO’s grief at the loss of his father and sister who had both recently died.
