Resilience

"RESILIENCE started out when I was noodling a rhythmic figure on my string bass. I struggle with anxiety and tend to fidget with my hands. So, I developed this rhythmic figure as an ostinato for a string orchestra piece. Despite the lively nature, the sections represent trauma, coping, suppression, then coping. I tend to cope with my anxieties with a jocular nature." Autumn Maria Reed, composer.
