Program Notes

Originally a marimba & piano duet commissioned by Una Duo (Jeff & Rebecca McNair Calissi), Almost Beyond was inspired by the poem and beautiful watercolor print of the same name by StoryPeople creator Brian Andreas (www.storypeople.com).

She laid on my chest
& her breathing
filled me to
almost beyond
what I could hold.
