Program Note
Inspired by one close friend's troubles, I Think of You creates an emotional musical painting depicting longing and loss. These qualities are musically matched by subtly shifting pitch centers within a mostly-modal context and a sustained, dramatic flute melody. A contrasting section of faster and louder passages sets fleeting anger to the forefront, only to again return to a mindful, although saddened, state of reflective contemplation.
