Program note:
The poem ”Hav” by the Icelandic poet Steinn Steinarr suggests the restlessness of life, the inability to feel at peace and at home anywhere. The only consolation is the presence of the sea. The poem ends: ”… I don’t know anymore whether I am the sea or the sea might be me”

Score: contact the composer
