The work was commissioned in 1996 by PIANO SIX, a group of Canadian concert pianists that included at the time: Angela Cheng, Janina Fialkowska, Marc André Hamelin, Angela Hewitt, André Laplante and Jon Kimura Parker. Individually these artists had dedicated a ten-day period in their annual calendar to present a series of recitals, school concerts and master classes in com-munities that would otherwise not have an opportunity, or at least only rarely, to interact with international concert artists. This group has also endeavoured to promote Canadian music by actively performing and commissioning music written by a wide selection of Canadian composers. EVERYTHING WAITS FOR THE LILACS is a brief, evocative work that captures the anticipation of spring. The title is taken form the Margaret Avison poem, “Thaws,” which is found in her collection of poetry entitled, Sunblue. The Canadian climate is such that it seems possible to define the moment when winter releases it grasp and the first blossoms unfold. Or perhaps it is simply that the Canadian psyche reaches the point when it cannot bear the snow-bound landscape any longer and the awareness of the shifting season becomes heightened. In this case the music echoes appropriately with a strong sense of longing and desire ending with a repeated chord that just yet, can’t seem to break free of the fading grasp of winter. EVERYTHING WAITS FOR THE LILACS is gratefully dedicated to Dorothy Hare, a piano teacher in Calgary who was influential in the development of the composer’s musician-ship and training. The work was given its premiere performances by Janina Fialkowska during her fall tour of British Columbia in 1997.
