The impulse that led to the creation of
Trails of Gravity and Grace
came to me asI sat on a bluff in the Cypress Hills of southwestern Saskatchewan, watching the flight of prairie falcons. I was struck by the graceful manner in which they could use the thermals to defy the force of gravity that kept me rooted to the earth. As I watched, with awe and no small amount of envy, I also recognized that their maneuvers, through the sky above an exquisite landscape was an incomprehensible gift from the universe, a bestowing of grace upon me. The piece grew from that initial thought into an exploration of the way in which the interaction of gravity and grace leaves its markings, its trails, upon the land, the sky and the spirit. The music has five movements: the first, third and fifth are extended movements; the second and fourth are much shorter, based on a single formal idea. Each movement is a musical exploration of the poetic energy suggested by its title.
Ascent
and
Cascade
are self-explanatory.
Virga
is rain that fails from a cloud but never reaches the ground, leaving streaks in the sky.
Ephemera
comprises very short gestures that remain undeveloped, like the small sounds that enter one's awareness for a fleeting moment. And,
Flight
is where it all began. The work is dedicated to the members of the Amici Trio and was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
