Errollyn Wallen: Tree. [4'08''] Errollyn Wallen

Does the tree own me?
Does the tree own the moon, the impassive moon?
Do the leaves seem to sing in the dark?

Does the tree own my heart?
Do I lie,
Do I lie,
In the arms of his art, confounding art?

I'm perplexed by the rune
I'm perplexed by rooted trees,
By rooted trees.

Julian Anderson: Lucretius. [3'14''] Claire Booth, Owen Gunnell

Then to this maxim let us be agreed;
NOTHING of NOTHING can be form'd;
But in such space immense, such vast of time,
If augh renew'd this Universe sublime,
'Twas something surely that's immortal born;
For to a Nothing things cannot return.
