Level: Grade 4.5
Scoring: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Bassoon, 4 Horns, Timpani, Violins 1, Violins 2, Violas, Violoncellos, Contrabasses
Program Note: Go Silently My Love is a musical representation of coming to terms with saying goodbye to a family member that has memory loss. While you go on with your life you witness a person that you love slowly becoming a shell of the person they once were, slowly forgetting how to function until they cannot function at all. You ask yourself why is this happening? You experience sadness, anger, and depression as you learn to accept this new reality. The clarinet and flute soloist represent the two individuals conversating throughout this new reality as they try to reconcile and find themselves again. Though, these people both become new versions of themselves in the end.
