about

Yuval Shy-El's "Phsis" for voice & ensemble was composed for Etty BenZaken & Modalius Ensemble as part of their project "Whole World: Music-Video Works" (2020). The full music-video piece combined Yuval Shy-El''s music with video by Meirav Heiman and Ayelet Carmi.

lyrics

“Rose Pogonias” by Robert Frost
A saturated meadow,
Sun-shaped and jewel-small,
A circle scarcely wider
Than the trees around were tall;
Where winds were quite excluded,
And the air was stifling sweet
With the breath of many flowers,—
A temple of the heat.
There we bowed us in the burning,
As the sun's right worship is,
To pick where none could miss them
A thousand orchises;
For though the grass was scattered,
Yet every second spear
Seemed tipped with wings of color,
That tinged the atmosphere.
We raised a simple prayer
Before we left the spot,
That in the general mowing
That place might be forgot;
Or if not all so favoured,
Obtain such grace of hours,
That none should mow the grass there
While so confused with flowers.

From “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree. [...]
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
