I Have Loved the Stars Too Fondly

Inspired by Sarah Williams' poem, The Old Astronomer, this new concert work tells of the irony of life's moments, of a life long lived through joy, sadness, longing, endurance, love and so many other lessons rolled into a vessel of musical inspiration. The shadows give perspective on things already known, and the light, although familiar, was only mine on loan. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. Optional cello included, this work is outstanding in text and music.
