Description
'A Thousand Tongues' was originally commissioned by cellist and vocalist Jody Redhage. This is the violin and piano version. This piece is a short but intense response to the following text by Stephen Crane: Yes, I have a thousand tongues, / and nine and ninety-nine lie. / Though I strive to use the one, / It will make no melody at my will, / But is dead in my mouth.— Missy Mazzoli
