Hope

Program Note 

hope was commissioned by New Works Project (formally New Works for Percussion Project). The title reflects my feelings as a soon-to-be parent for the continued health and well-being of our baby and more generally my hope that we as a society can overcome the shit show of our current administration and get to a better place where all of us can thrive.

hope was featured in NWP’s second Video Performance Challenge. The winner, JR Alberto, collaborated with Four/Ten Media on the above video shoot and release. Originally scored for solo glockenspiel, hope also has an arrangement for solo vibraphone and for solo marimba. Approximately 7.5 minutes.
