Composer's Note:
A Brief View of Eternity (2006) is homage to the composer's maternal grandmother, Grace May Ayres, who passed away at the age of 95 in February of 2002. The work is meant to represent the eternal nature of selfless love. The composition was inspired by her shared memories of doughboys returning home by ship from World War I at the docks in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The bands, perhaps those of the Salvation Army or military, meeting the ships carrying the wounded and dieing played "Nearer My God To Thee." As the young men disembarked from the ships, the most severely stricken were carried on stretchers and in baskets. The work is based on the 1856 Lowell Mason hymn tune, "Bethany." The tune is most often performed with words loosely based on Genesis 28:11-12, "Nearer My God To Thee," by Sarah Flower Adams.
