Product details
Lifeline was composed as I reflected on a recent time in hospital. The feeling of the piece recalls the memories a loved one, waiting for the patient to emerge from the surgery, those minutes, hours, spent in the unknown, where mingled feelings of hope and anxiety play on the mind, and all you want to hear is the reaffirming words of the surgeon that "all went well." The feelings are difficult to capture: sometimes there is an intensity to the waiting, at other times the minutes seems to drag on, stretched over an unmeasurable expanse; sometimes feelings of frustration boil over, at other times a deep sadness resides in the soul, a sadness that we even have to experience and endure such trials at all. It is these feelings that I've tried to capture in Lifeline. My hope is that despite the darkness, despite the unknown and the pain, that the piece is able in some way to express the desire to hang on to hope, that in the end we might say with Julian of Norwich "All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."
