Performed by the Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and the Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director.
Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from the Persian by Coleman Barks, for double choir and organ.

In the summertime when the work was done
we'd take our ease and have our fun
we'd been always looking forward
to the warm dry days of Sun
In the summertime we would run and sing

we would laugh and wintertime

but it couldn't last
and the autumn came too quickly
with its wind and rain
