The composer writes: "Each fiddle is reading from the same page of sheet music, except one of 'em is reading upside-down! Inspired by ETHEL's choreographic sutdies with Annie-B Parson, we we worked together to create "Wait for Green," an arts World Financial Center commission. This piece was premiered on December 19, 2008 by Cornelius Dufallo and Mary Rowell, and it was wildly confusing to write. I mean WILDLY confusing."

The composer writes: "This will be the US premiere of this piece. It was just recently performed in Melbourne, Australia in December 2008 as part of the prize package for the composition competition where it won the Shakuhachi Chamber Music International Prize 2008. The purpose of the competition is to create works that bring the shakuhachi into the chamber music world and to create more repertoire for the shakuhachi in the chamber music setting. My interest in writing this piece was to combine diverse musical elements into a musical fusion and create a new hybrid style."
