Program Notes

Since the dawn of civilization, prayer has accompanied every form of human activity—even sacrifice. Though people today come from different places, with different histories and burdens, none have ever abandoned the act of praying—only transformed its form. This timeless connection, rooted in the primal depths of the human mind, inspired me to write this song without words.

This piece is a dedication to my grandmother, who had lived through a simple and sincere eighty-year-old life.
