Kali, She Who Devours Time
Zae Munn
About this work:
Kali is a complex and multi-faceted Hindu goddess, often depicted as a fearsome, dark, and long-tongued demon. In some traditions Kali is known for destroying ignorance, and aiding those who seek sublime knowledge. Her name can be understood as a synonym for death, or devourer of time.
This work, for violin and piano, was written in 2006 for violinist Charlotte Munn-Wood, who named her own beloved instrument Kali.
