"Dao" no 37 - "The World Settles" Inspired by verse 37 of Lao Tzu's philosophical text "Tao Te Ching":
"Dao endures without a name,
Yet nothing is left undone.
If Kings and Lords could possess it,
All beings would transform themselves.
Transformed, they desire to create;
I quiet them through nameless simplicity.
Then there is no desire.
No desire is serenity
And the world settles of itself."
This musical reflection was written in 2008 and is scored for small chamber orchestra.
