- Program Notes
- The general progression of the piece is betrayed by its title in that the music is constantly reaching both towards and from A4, eventually becoming totally consumed by it. The form consists of the strophe, which is expository; the antistrophe, which is reactionary; and the epode, which acts to summarize and juxtapose the two. Each are imbued with non-linear presentations of the particular materials. As it was begun shortly before and finished shortly after the passing of my grandmother, Patti Jo Deegan (9/21/1939-12/6/2022), it is dedicated to her.
