Triptych of Life
Harpsichord | 2018 | 11'
Premiere:
Premiered by Alice Chuaqui Baldwin, harpsichord. Hatch Hall, Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY, Nov. 28, 2018.
This piece is, in some ways, a struggle for serenity. The dramatic middle movement, in particular, expresses emotions of frustration, desire, sadness, wonder, wistfulness, and, perhaps, happiness. After all this, things can never be the same as they once were, but we can still remember the past.
