Borrowed Earth

Erin Spencer's "Borrowed Earth" for flute quartet is a poignant musical journey that
delves into the relationship between present actions and their impact on future
generations. The title of the piece draws from the phrase: "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." Through a blend of
nostalgic lullaby melodies, evolving harmonies, and a narrative structure that mirrors our societal conscience, Spencer's composition invites reflection on our stewardship of
the planet and the uncertainties that accompany it.
