"'Stavropol Krai' / 'Ставропольский Край' is the fourth track from my new album KRAI. Written less than a year ago, this is the newest part of the nine-movement cycle. As with the rest of KRAI, the music mixes traditional Slavic singing with the various forms, sounds and arrangements I've been exploring in my post-classical life. The text comes from a traditional sacred fable about three archangels who encounter a soul in limbo."
