Solitude

"Solitude" was composed as a personal ongoing aspiration of composing unaccompanied concert pieces for many instruments. Solitude deals with the emotions of isolation including loneliness, nostalgia and fear. Instead of being episodic these emotions and dark feelings coincide with one another. The work has small bursts of perhaps moving forward but always dives back into its lament. In the end the opening motive returns to reaffirm the perpetual state.
