Program Notes

Bearing (2011) for solo glockenspiel (orchestra bells) is dedicated to Stuart Saunders Smith, with great admiration.

The work should unfold slowly and without hurry. Always listen to the colors and resonances of the bells.

“We cannot love to live if we cannot bear to die.”

      — William Penn

Dedication: for Stuart Saunders Smith
