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.
5. eternity's sun rise
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise
- "Eternity" by William Blake
Time races on and growth burgeons forth, again in cycles, and expanding outwards. With brightness and intensity, the child rollicks and sings the way forward, while there is rushing to keep up and clear the way, and again a bittersweet wish to hold fast. With reflection, acceptance, embracing being present and the unknown ahead, the past becomes the future with a recalled long theme in entirety pouring out at last.
