dramatized in four movements, each one orchestrated with its own
rhythmic structure, creating spoken music that moves effortlessly from
the outlandishly comic with John as a fetus refusing to be born - to the
startlingly poignant as his children grow up before our very eyes as the

fugue as they visit a museum gallery to view a series of three paintings
over the course of a day.
