Program Notes: The string trio La fleur du ciel is an instrumental reflection on the passage from Camus posted below. “At the time, I often thought that if I had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowering overhead, little by little I would have got used to it. I would have waited for birds to fly by or clouds to mingle, just as here I waited to see my lawyer’s ties and just as, in another world, I used to wait patiently until Saturday to hold Marie’s body in my arms.” Camus, Albert. The Stranger. Reissue ed. New York: Vintage, 1989. p.77.
