about
Symphonies of Mother and Child is an intensely personal work inspired by my bond with my child, which was composed during our early years together. While the work is symphonic in some ways, the word “symphonies,” in the title actually refers to the older, broader connotation, from the Greek, of “sounding together.” Through the work, mother and child “sound together” through love and wonder, exploring, struggling, and brooding, as they learn to attune, to cherish, and to let go. The mother-child bond, as universal as it is, can also be seen as a metaphor for even broader themes like love and loss, attachment and power, and time and transience.
4. listening
An oboe-child and an alto flute-mother, joined together, stride, with cymbal-swish steps, through a wilderness of birds and earth, at a pace to calm. In turn, they draw each other's attention to the sounds of this world, sharing their echoes and imitations. Their flowing dialog as they practice communicating, meditative awareness, and taking their notes from their surroundings, sings a song: a long theme heard before. With growing serenity and oneness, there is again release to sleep.
