 Program note
A Requiem is a Mass for the dead. This relatively brief instrumen-
tal piece with the title Requiem is not a Mass, but serves a parallel
function the need to lay to rest old things in order to turn the
mind and heart toward the new.
I have an abiding interest in why humans go to war. I have re-
cently read much about World War II, and was confronted once
again with the awful fact of fifty million needless deaths. Shosta-
kovich thought of every one of his compositions as a tombstone,
and wished that he could have written a separate memorial piece
for every person who died in war.
I do believe that we are in a major transitional time, and that
this transition happens first in each of us. My Requiem is both for
the unnamed dead of all wars, and for each person making their
own inner step, saying goodbye in order to say hello.
