Hölderlin’s Tower for flute duo (mp3)

This is an instrumental duo inspired by my interpretation of Marie Keyser's poem, "La Tour de Hölderlin". The poem describes a scene near a sleeping river where a leaning willow could touch the water with its top. An old church chimes the hours on an island where night falls. One can still see its grey roof against the grey water. The poem further delves into the speaker's feelings in a wooden tower, hinting at madness and silence, asking for vigilance and not to alter the state of things.
