    Evocation is a five-minute fantasy on one of
    the great twentieth-century chamber works with
    guitar, C. Curtis-Smiths Gold Are My Flowers, a
    forty-four-minute cantata for soprano, baritone,
    and nine instruments. Gold was written in 1992 to
    commemorate the quincentennial of Columbuss
    1492 encounter with the New World.
    Evocation begins with the chime-like sonori-
    ties of guitar harmonics intoning the Navajo chant
    which ends Curtis-Smiths cantata. The Navajo
    chant has an ecstatic, Genesis-like text:
    In all directions there is light.
    In all directions is beauty.
    May it be beautiful before me.
    It is beautiful.
    Smell the flowers.
    Hear the singing.
    It is beautiful.
    In beauty it is finished.
    This brief opening in Evocation quickly segues
    into a recitative-like march, a souvenir of the can-
    tatas setting of Columbuss words: At dawn we
    saw naked people. I called them, I unfurled the
    royal banner, I ordered the captain of the Pinta and
    Nia to bear witness that I was taking possession
    of this island for the King and Queen. To this
    island I gave the name San Salvador. Having taken
    one island into possession, you can claim them all.
    Yes! You can claim them all!
    As Evocation ends, the melody of the Navajo
    chant reappears.
