TEXT
GREAT BARRIER REEF
Teeming with life
in the Coral Sea
off the coast of Queensland
in North-East Australia,
the Great Barrier Reef—
the world's largest structure
made by living organisms—
can be seen from space.
—text from the public record, adapted by the composer
Recorded live in November 2019 at Bargemusic, New York City
