The uneven yet persistent ticking of a nearly broken clock holds together this wonderfully expressive work exploring human conflict. Rich harmonies, emotionally charged melodic lines, and fragments of compelling thematic ideas push us through the timeless experiences of hope, pain, and longing. Though resolution may not be fully achieved by the conclusion of the work, it’s obvious from the experiences offered in the music that hope and healing will keep alive our purist dreams and faithful pursuits of a better future.

This delicate and nuanced solo piano work expresses a melancholic yearning for reconnection with a heartfelt melody floating over a gently flowing rhythmic pattern. Playing the notes is not difficult, so pianists may interpret the music from their own emotional points of view. Most of the piece is in a slow 5/4 time, with a middle passage in 3/4, before returning to 5/4.

Performers should aim to evoke self-preservation clarity. Learning to let go of those we love and move on is a painful experience to journey through. Yet, letting go does not mean loving less.

The John D. Wattson Series showcases the music of Matt Johnson with abridged and accessible piano solo arrangements.
Contemporary lyrical and rhythmic repertoire for piano students of varying degrees.
