Description

I have long been drawn to music’s timeless and universal qualities and my work attempts to engage those deeply felt human impulses embraced in the words of Henry David Thoreau: ‘When I hear music, I fear no danger, I am invulnerable, I see no foe, I am related to the earliest times, and to the last.’

Throughout my life, poetry and poetic images have nourished, propelled, and stimulated my musical imagination. I am also reminded of composer Béla Bartók’s remark that, ‘as a man grows more mature, it seems that he has a greater longing to be more economical with his means, in order to achieve simplicity.’ Joseph Schwantner
