Program Notes:
I wrote Garden of Lost Yearnings after reading about Kodokushi, the phenomenon of solitary deaths in Japan. The piece, scored for alto flute, English horn, bass clarinet, and piano, reflects the profound loneliness that comes with social separation. In this chamber music setting, the wind instruments rarely play together. Instead, they follow one another, each voice existing in isolation, much like a person enduring the quiet solitude of life.
