Ineffable by Ricardo Zohn Muldoon

"Ineffable" By Ricardo Zohn Muldoon is based on four lines from Sonnet XVII by William Shakespeare:
If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say, This poet lies,
such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.
In addition to being moved by the inherent beauty and tenderness of these lines, I am touched by their depiction of the plight of the artist. In Ineffable I have tried to convey the poetry of Shakespeare, even if the flute cannot speak his words, but only reflect them with sound.
