Erläuterungen
In March 2013 William Connell contacted me about writing him a work for his graduate recital at the New England Conservatory.
April 15, 2013 was the date of the Boston Marathon bombing. Just weeks into the writing process, and, like most Americans, affected on an emotional level by what had happened, I found the new piece taking on an increasingly elegiac quality. It became clear this music was going to be a kind of personal commemoration of a tragic event.
I have never visited Boston. However, in the days after the marathon bombing one poem about that city was frequently quoted by the media, E.B. White's Boston Is Like No Other Place In The World, Only More So. Particularly this stanza:
For Boston's not a capital, And Boston's not a place , Rather I think that Boston is A sort of state of grace.
In the final line I found the title of the piece. And the meaning of that word, with its connotations of redemption, seems to outline the emotional territory of the piece: despair, through anger, to acceptance.
On the technical side, this seven-minute journey begins centered in A minor. After an excursion to B major it eventually returns to the opening key, juxtaposing themes and ideas from the previous two sections before concluding with the piece's only A major chord.
