The White on Our Statues is being written for the Iowa City-based Siren Duo, Arianna Edvenson and Dominique Archambeau - https://www.facebook.com/thesirenduo/ . For clarinet and viola, it is looking to be a gentle piece considering the depth, beauty, and humor of the impermanence of human achievement, as expressed in the following poem:

​

​

And here, in these statues

Stand our proudest moments

​

Heads and shoulders graced

By the droppings of birds

​

​

- Levi
