Program Notes: |
The Desolation Room is, in essence, a conversation from within. Once thrust into this room, a person can choose to use this space for introspection or to resign him- or herself to endure its oppressiveness. It is a quiet, solitary place but not tranquil, as there is palpable tension stemming from the awareness of the inevitable march of time. Thoughts of despair dominate but are punctuated by moments of clarity. This piece gives the listener a glimpse into this forlorn space: The Desolation Room. |
