Burden of the Light

@

A trilogy exploring the arc of 'knowing'. Three pieces that ask: How do we emerge? What do we do with what we know? How do we live as the light we've become?

This trilogy explores the full arc of illumination: the initial breakthrough from despair, the bewildering complexity of wisdom gained, and finally the integration of becoming light itself. Each piece stands alone as a complete meditation, yet together they trace a journey every thoughtful person recognizes—the paradox of seeking truth only to discover how heavy truth can be.

Composed for large string orchestra to honor Baroque tradition while speaking directly to contemporary experience.

Track 1 released: Passacaglia in F Minor: From Darkness to Light

Twelve variations on an unchanging bass. The same notes, cycling, until repetition becomes revelation. What felt like prison slowly transforms into dance floor.
