Do

(by the composer herself) 

Do (C) is the first note of a natural musical scale, and a note known to all; 
Do is a syllable whose sound varies depending on whether it is spoken or sung,
 it is a signifier and a verb, so,
 the epicenter of a fixed and  revolving universe of sound as Phillip Glass knows so well to let us sense.
