NOTES on Tears for a Dying Planet

Tears for a Dying Planet paints a musical picture of a troubled world. It broadly expresses all of my pent-up fears, anger and frustrations which continue to lay heavily on my mind as our world descends into unsavory and uncharted territory. These problems run the gamut; endless military conflicts, threats of nuclear war, xenophobia, racism, anti-Semitism, science denial, steep political divisions, mass shootings, and not least by any means, climate change leading to extreme weather conditions across the globe.

Tears for a Dying Planet is in a softly-played free form and contains several episodes which culminate into a forceful nine-note “death� chord representing grief and anger.  A single bar of recovery silence is offered honoring all who have suffered and continue to do so.
