Detail
from
the composer's notes: This bold and defiant piece expresses my rebellious
feelings in ways I never allowed myself while my mother was living.
Every mother has an idea of what her child is to be. Music was our
common bond -- and paradoxically our source of greatest tension,
because of our conflicting self expectations. What better way to
express this conflict than in music? Music sets both of us free.
The next thing to do is to dance for joy!
