Lament
for string orchestra is a meditation on the countless emotional and spiritual
challenges we encounter throughout life. The composition explores grief, regret,
mourning, renewal and transcendence.
Beginning as a whimper, sorrow swells and then descends into complete despair.
Despondency is then transmuted into hope: the spirit begins its journey towards
renewal, gathers strength, hovers tentatively, then transcends into the sublime.
