Product Description
Notes:
I wrote most of Hiraeth during the week between getting called to hospital and my grandmother passing away. Titled after a Welsh concept, Hiraeth is a combination of homesickness, longing, and nostalgia for things, places, experiences, and people far away or unreachable. The general melancholy is broken by occasional moments of clarity and memory before finality sets in.
Performance Notes:
Be expressive with tempo and treat dynamics as a guide. Every passing and experience of grief is unique, so reflect that in performance. The final notes of measure 90 should be played with as much sting and bite as possible, being a sharp and sudden return to stark, but unchanged, reality.
