Burning Questions
Burning Questions
Piano Trio Violin, Cello, and Piano
Composer's Note:
The title of this work has a double meaning. First, it refers to those urgent questions one wants to ask of a loved one, but which somehow never get asked. But what does one do with them after the loved one dies? This is what I did: I wrote each question on a piece of paper and then - one by one - I lit matches and burned them, released them. Out of their ashes came this music.
There are five sections, each with a title. These titles are not meant to be descriptive, and they definitely don't represent the "burning questions". Rather, they are offered to the performers and listeners as suggestions of certain qualities or states of being.
