“Dólii”

“Dólii“ is a poem and solo work for guitar. The words and music are intended to be woven together like a helix strand. The written poem forms its own structure of couplets and tercets that shift the rhythm and cadence of the lines.

For Diné, dólii is a bluebird, a guide and bringer of storms. The poem and composition are for my daughter. —Bojan Louis
