THOUGHT EXPERIMENT, a narrative poem on a 4-voice ground . . .

A "tre secco, sotto voce" NARRATIVE poem. NATURALISTS from a different galaxy -- space brothers & sisters -- visit planet Earth. They've been here before. They study conflict. That's all they study. They've been here before, they say. They'll come again. Perhaps..., they say. "tre secco, sotto voce" is an Italian phrase in Classical Music; it means literally, "very dry, under the voice." Objective, in a way. Without emotion, in a way. IMAGE: EARTH from the MOON, classic NASA
