PROGRAM NOTE:
A few years ago, I wrote a piece called Deciduous, born from a period of loss following my father’s passing. His absence
left a deep void, and for a time my creativity struggled under the weight of that pain. He was the first close family member I
had lost, and it felt natural, even inevitable, to dwell on all that was missing. But in the years since, as I have cycled through
ups and downs of healing, certain constants in my life have helped me find strength and meaning again—especially the people
closest to me and, of course, music.
When I reflect on the journey through those difficult years, I find myself feeling more and more grateful for these
enduring sources of support. Evergreen is a wistful yet exuberant tribute to these constants in our lives, the steadfast forces
from which we draw love, energy, and resilience. In this sense, it serves as a companion piece or foil to Deciduous. While loss
may lead us to initially fixate on what is gone, remembering what remains—what has always been there, and what will
continue to be—helps us move forward.
Evergreen was commissioned by the Rouse High School Honor Band and their Director Ryan Johnstone for their 2024
Midwest Clinic Performance. Deepest thanks to all involved in this commission, and congratulations to Ryan Johnstone and
the Rouse High School Honor Band for their invitation to Midwest.
