	<description><![CDATA[This meditation features the poem "Right Eye" by Eric Odum, in which the speaker repeatedly explains that his right eye has been tearing up constantly. At once a symbol of release and pent-up emotions, "Right Eye" volleys between different sentiments such that Odum wonders, "how many of these are from pain to come, or an overwhelming joy to live." We pair Odum's poem with Jean-Philippe Rameau's Entree de Polymnie, excerpted from final opera Les Boréades. Performed by a pair of violins accompanied by viola da gamba and harpsichord, this piece feels lush, comforting, and warm, though there’s an undeniable underlying melancholy that echoes the coexisting sentiments in Odum’s poem.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In this meditation, poet Darlene Montonaro uses water imagery – of pouring rain or a flooded, rushing river – to signal the weightiness of loss, the journey of grief, and ultimate emotional release. We pair Montonaro's poem "Parting" with  François Couperin's character piece, Les langueurs tendres, or The Tender languishing. Performed here by baroque oboe and harpsichord, the melody constantly “leans in” to small dissonances designed to make us “feel” something. Some of those dissonances might make you feel a mere twinge of nostalgia or regret; others might contain longing or a weightiness that corresponds to the sentiments of Montonaro’s poem.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[This meditation pairs the poem "How to Escape Madness Under a Full Moon" by Darlene Montonaro with instrumental piece for strings with organ by the French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier that sparkles while remaining humble. Ultimately, it feels deeply spiritual and it is based on a Latin chant fragment, “Pange Lingua.” As you listen, try to focus on the rise and fall of the lowest voice - doubled by the organ - which spins out the chant. What words might you use to describe how the violins respond or react to the tune in the bass?]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In this meditation, we have paired Eric Odum's poem "In the storm" with Marin Marais' "Tombeau de M. de St. Colombe," an intense and deeply personal work. “Tombeau,” means tomb in French, and the music is a tribute by Marais to his former teacher and mentor M. de St. Colombe. Though the music is extremely intimate - performed by just viola da gamba and harpsichord - the emotions portrayed are almost operatic in their extremes. The music's emotions – from reflection to sadness and even occasional violence – are all echoed in Odum’s poem. ]]></description>
