I have posted a real audio file of my fourth string quartet - Quartet in D.
The files are approximately 1.5MB each and there is a link to Progressive
Networks homepage where free software to play realaudio files is available.
The files are available at:

First Section - "Sensucht"
Translation after Hoffman
Sensuous the touch,
endless yearing -
how I know it.
Now to be the inner
strength and
underpinning grace -
crowning ruined mountain as laurel clouds.
However faint,
though near to inner senses.
Sensuous the touch of day,
endless yearning - of thee -
how I know its aura,
now. To be the inner
strength. Elan
underpinning. It is I,
crowned on ruined mountain top by God's design.
However feint at meaning -
Thought: near to inner senses.
Second Section -"Chronologie"
Chronologie
(Written to a young girl on Christmas by an oft absent Uncle)
Demark the hours -
Intrinsic, as with wonderous mira
Makes her amends in transit.
Abating absence with light in liu.
Now donning youthful shimmer.
Cetus swallows as with Jonah's dread
He plunges all to pondering darkness melancholia
Ended, with brightness born of silver day.

I will have to apologise to Mr. Brooks, iambic blank verse does not fit
well with music in the style of Schoenberg's *Pierrot Luniare*.
