I have a love for minimalist, kinda hard to understand poetry like this. I have been in a composer's block for a bit and decided that wth, I'll make a score in the same way I've taken to poetry: With limitations and a time restraint.

You may disagree with my interpration of the scale, that is OK with me. It is more of a label than anything else, at least I struggle to find a clear tonic in pieces like these. Really the decision of the scale and therefore my naming of the piece in B-flat is just based on my initial limitation.

Microtonal fingerings have been tested (and measured) by me on the clarinet. For a player more clarity would obviously be involved (charts).

Poem explained:

w-
wheigh-
waken
oh wheigh-
oh awaken
glare [at the sun]
[the sun] dithers
[the sun] flares
[the sun does] n'fathom (=doesn't fathom)
[to your existence the sun is completely and utterly] oblivio-[us]

Liner note to composition:
I was experimenting with some notes on the clarinet and ended
in a fun pentatonic scale. In a throwback to an interest,
or perhaps an obsession, in obscure scales I had back around
the time of Covid, I decided to try to limit myself into an
odd scale. In B flat the scale is basically a Lydian with a minor
seventh and an augmented third. The intro and outro (solo parts)
experiment with some very small microtones I found on the clarinet.
