Program Note
Cantiga was composed in 1997 as the central movement of a string trio, the remaining movements of which have
been withdrawn. It takes the form of a slow, lyrical meditation on a mis-remembered, if not entirely
fabricated, fragment of Galician folk poetry:
A onde irá meu Romero
A onde irá meu Romero
Chegará a Compostela
A ver Santo Apostol
(Where will my wanderer go? He will arrive at Compostela and see the blessed apostle.)
Cantiga may be performed alone or as part of the Cancionero AnoĢnimo, a loose grouping of fragments,
sketches, studies, and completed works that together document a life
