Syzygy was written in the winter of 2006. The performance above is from an April 2008 performance at Cal State Fullerton. It is a selection of 10 songs including short readings from the play. Wallace wrote this song cycle to poems by Nancy Knowles for her one-woman musical play, called Luna, an inspiring look at the healing power of art through the story of her mother, an artist who survived multiple tragedies, but painted her way well into her nineties.
The Cycle begins with:
Credo
What is greatness, if not the shedding
of lesser stuff
if not the daring to be alone
Content simply
to play,
fool around
with divine mischief?
A burst here
a sigh there,
scribbling
slow and fast
and lingering
long enough
for all
to join the fun,
the wonder
by Nancy Knowles
