Programme Note
In Time’s Unfolding was written for the 70th Anniversary of the Music Library Association. It is reflective — of the past, of one’s self — and celebrates the moment. The composer evokes childhood memories of music by Schumann, Gershwin and Copland which interweave with self-references to several of his earlier piano works. Time unfolds over a musical landscape that is at once poignant and painful, lonely, celebratory, and heroic. The title comes from the seventh section of Galway Kinnell’s eleven-part poem, When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone.
