Paul Novak: varations with sand in the gears
"I love music which is in conversation with itself, and in variations with sand in the gears the cellist gets to be all the voices in a racous argument." - Paul Novak
Elizabeth Younan "And Like Seeds Dreaming Beneath the Snow" for solo violin
This is the sister piece to my previous violin solo, "...your heart dreams of spring" (2020). Both works sing joy an effervescence despite struggle. The full sentence "And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring" is taken from Kahlil Gibran's poem "On Death" from his seminal 1923 book, The Prophet.
