Ned Rorem
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 109:
Awakened with, still flowing through remembered dreams, Debussy's ever-friendly Trio Sonata. The first movement unmistakably represents quails mating. In these four measures preceding (1) and the severn preceding (5) a female flute preens serenely among flecks of grain in the gravel, while the stupid male viola struts, roughing his ruff. An that harp? Well, the harp's the garden path up and down which they walk making patterns for Amy Lowell whom I've not thought of in decades, but mightn't she have composed those verses during the very months Debussy composed his?
