The reaction to the 2001 terrorist attacks in the US brought back memories of growing up during the Cold War. In particular I remembered the atmosphere of omnipresent fear and anxiety, faced with a faceless enemy who could strike at any second. Then I think of my father, constantly aggravated by my mother's constant worrying, saying "Worry, worry, worry, worry, all you ever do is worry!" He was likely just as anxious, but unwilling to admit it. My thoughts wander to the music of the time, to high modernists like Xenakis, furiously uprooting all traces of the past, and also to those who embraced the past, like The Beach Boys, wistfully and longingly. And I remember growing up in Ottawa, which like most cities at the time was obsessed with obliterating its past--in this case, following the dictates of urban planner Jacques Greber, disciple of Le Corbusier, as was Xenakis. As an anxious mind flits restlessly from one thought to the next, making its own unexpected connections, all these thoughts and musics circulate through Worry, which was written from one moment to the next, without thought as to its future. In hindsight it seems a kind of nostalgic homage to the modernism I grew up with, innocent of its bitter origins. Worry was commissioned by Continuum (Jennifer Waring, Artistic Director) and Numus (Jeremy Bell, Artistic Director) for Mark Fewer, violin, with the assistance of The Laidlaw Foundation.
