Mary Ann Hoberman: It’s divided into nine parts. And each part has as its introduction, the title of its introduction, the first line or the title of an appropriate poem. And so the first section is called Oh, Fields of Wonder, and that’s from the Langston Hughes poem.
In unison: Birth. Oh, fields of wonder, out of which stars are born and moon and the sun and me as well. Like stroke of lightning in the night, some mark to make, some word to tell.
