'Drawing Down the Moon (1991) for piccolo and percussion is in four movements, each derived from a mystical source. The first movement (Drawing Down the Moon) refers to rites in ancient Greece in which women cast spells. Pointing the Bone, the second movement, refers to an esoteric practice among Australian aboriginals. The third, Lilith, is about the female figure who in rabbinic legend is Adam's first wife and, when supplanted by Eve, becomes an evil spirit in medieval demonology. (Mothers, to protect their sleeping children from the spirit of Lilith, sang songs to them that were the genesis of the lullaby.) The final movement, Demon Drummer, comes from a seventeenth-century tale of a jailed drummer whose drum is magically heard in other places.'
