Tesserae II

Description

Of the two Tesseraes for organ, Frederick Frahm writes,

“This music struggles for breath when there is plenty of room to breathe. The sections are striking (if not adverse) in their variety, yet they find themselves gathered together.  A final passage attempts resolution but leaves many questions unanswered. Metaphoric and contradictory, yes, anxiety, heartache, grief, all present…

Yet there is hope knowing that disparate things can be gathered in a frame of negative space and by their assembly have meaning.”
