Prophesy!
Jon Liechty
About this work:
An impassioned piece (ca. 5 min.) inspired by a poem about a gifted girl. Because of her abilities, crowds hail her as a prophetess, demanding she tell them wondrous things. When she protests that she cannot give them what they seek, they drown her out with their shouting. Eventually they tire, and leave her to go on her way alone. The poem is by Joanna Hoyt, and is found in Stephanie Tolan's book, Welcome to the Ark.
