Song No. 7 from Hymnody of Earth

Words and Music by Malcolm and Campbell Dalglish

Window Tree is a song about waking to the familiar sight of a tree outside a bedroom window. The free phrasing required in this song would be more easily accomplished if the dulcimer player is the solo vocalist. A soprano or tenor could also sing this solo effectively. This piece introduces the metallic, harplike sounds of the plucked hammer dulcimer. The dulcimer part uses a pitch change embellishment referred to as a “Koto bend” in which a sounded note’s pitch is altered or “bent” by rapid pushes on that string on the opposite side of the bridge. This is a common technique used on the Japanese Koto.
