little eye
by: David Lang
Small children get bored easily when traveling long distances by car. One way to distract them is to play the game "I spy with my little eye," in which you look out the window and describe something you have noticed. In my experience this does work, but in a very subdued way - it is not the most exciting way to pass the time. Eventually, however, time does pass. -David Lang
little eye was commissioned by the Italian music festival Nuova Consonanza for the ensemble Alter Ego, and was premiered at the Opera Paese in Rome, Italy, 16 October 1999.
