Ioana Galu performs Connor's solo work for violin.

Goodbye

• written for Solo Violin; 11’ 00”


( 2023 )

Program Note


Goodbye was written while reflecting on personal moments from the composer's life. The major seventh is featured at key moments, bearing the weight of the composer's memories — wistful, dissonant, and beautiful all at the same time. The same can be said of goodbyes, but there is always a new start in tomorrow and a hello that guides us forward.
