Program Note:
Stillness explores the ways in which the world has slowed in light of COVID-19 and how humans are making societal changes that are benefiting humanity. The hope is that many of these new norms will continue in future. The text of this piece is a haiku of the same name written by the composer.

Stillness
Amid the stillness
A wounded earth heals
Beginning anew
