RELENTLESS
(2020)
for piano, 4-hands | 7 minutes
 
Written in response to the relentless chain of events and worldwide
challenges in 2020, this piece also reflects the relentlessness of many
aspects of life which are challenging in “normal” times, and have been
even more challenging over the past few months:
 
The relentlessness of parenting, of struggles with mental health,
of work anxiety, of societal and racial inequality, of uncertainty,
of the climate crisis, among an endless list of others.
 
Less obvious at times, but more powerful is the presence of relentless
love, humanity, thoughtfulness, kindness, and hope - these are also
reflected in this piece.
 
This piece was written and intended to be performed in its entirety, but if
programming and time-constraints are limited, each of the 3 parts may be
performed separately.
