Extra Information	A soft-spoken warning about global warming and the perils associated with the Anthropocene, Flora is inspired by two ancient texts about the goddess of spring. The first, by Ovid (Fasti, Book 5; written 8 C.E.), describes the origin and powers of Flora, and the second, a poem by Virgil (Hymn to Spring, Georgiche, Book 2; published 30 B.C.E.) celebrates the season of rebirth. In the narrative of the piece, the goddess appears in physical form to the poet, answers his question about her nature and powers, and warns about the silent spring that might be coming. Then, symbolized by a final instrumental section, the apparition disappears.
