The title of this piece is from Nabokov and those "through which the past shines" are Transparent Things, the title of his penultimate novel, which I had already used for a piece in 1984. The score/audio excerpt is the last seven minutes of the piece.

“…through which the past shines…” has been recorded by Daniel Lippel, guitar, John Popham, cello and Nils Vigeland, piano on New Focus Recordings CD FCR204P. They are the performers on the audio excerpt.
