There are two ideas at the core of this work: processes that create order (the passage of time, the turning world) and the individual voice within the world. These ideas are perhaps at the core of chamber music in general: what is the role of the individual in a larger whole? Leaving a Place explores this relationship, at times creating distinctly unidiomatic passages for individual players that all the same (I hope) make sense when heard as a larger whole. On one level, “leaving a place” connotes the movement from one place to another. This work was written while my family and I were preparing to leave our home in the country outside of Calgary, and affects to some extent the sense of melancholy that accompanies beginnings that are also endings (like so many processes). On another level, “leaving a place” refers to the need to make space for the things that are important, and of finding a way for an individual to be at home in the world.-BL
