  An original score composed by William Parker for string quartet & alto saxophone, created to accompany a moving series (and montage) of ink & wash drawings by Lois Eby, punctuated with five poems written and read by David Budbill. Inspired by, and drawn from, the landscape and people of Vermont (where Eby and Budbill both long resided); ultimately, as the title states, this work is a meditation on being native, to a state, town, city, country, or other delineation of physical space.
  
  Music composed by William Parker
  & performed by:
  Jason Kao Hwang: violin
  Jean Cook: violin
  Nicole Federici: viola
  Alexander Waterman: cello
  Daniel Carter: alto saxophone

  NOTE! Yes the digital track is priced higher than the DVD – point here was to make the DVD available w/ the Bonus exclusive download of the full score. We ran into a back-end Bandcamp issue & weren't sure if the track WAS indeed included in its "private streaming/download" mode or not. So we uploaded it again to make sure all who purchase the DVD get the score as promised!
