Program Notes
“Saghat” in Tatar language can mean time, a clock, an hour or a moment. The piece is dedicated to the renowned composer Kaija Saariaho after hearing about her recent passing. This is the first piece I wrote after I was diagnosed with colon cancer and since then have been thinking a lot about time, and appreciating every moment if it. I wrote this piece based off a recording of a piano improvisation I had done - the piece is a respectful nod to the inspiration that came to me in that exact moment in time.
