The Hope Moment (for violin and piano).
There is a moment between breaths – a moment between the inhale and the exhale – where one pauses for an instant. This is a moment of rest, of suspension, and a moment of hope. I sense the infinite possibilities within this time of repose. Whether we face a daunting task or a pleasant experience, we all seem to take a deep breath and prepare for the next moment.
In The Hope Moment the violin weaves a lyrical melody over a gently changing terrain of the piano. Through a variety of textures that symbolize a variety of encounters, the violin’s line remains steady and focused throughout.
