Lament

Lament
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.
