Consolation

Grief and gratitude for a departed friend mingle in this short yet impactful solo. Textures and harmonic turns are fresh and unexpected, though never jarring and always from the heart. Composed in remembrance of musicologist, record producer, and self-described “sound archaeologist” Allan Evans, CONSOLATION is a moving addition to recital repertoire as well as for use at memorial services. A performance by the composer is available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7mloLZmZgQ
