There I Was - score
I composed this piano solo as part of the ballet There I Was. The Nashville Ballet commissioned me and choreographer Matthew Neenan to create a work for their program Attitude: Other Voices which premiered in February of 2020. There I Was is the choreographer’s story of his journey into self-acceptance. The entire ballet is scored for piano, cello, and marimba, and this piece is the finale of the dance. I hope to convey a feeling of peace and optimism with this work. There I Was is meant to be played very expressively, alternating between firm and delicate lines.
In the performance of There I Was five works of mixed-media artist Vadis Turner were suspended above the stage, creating a beautifully dramatic set design. Vadis graciously has allowed me to use her stunning work as the cover for this sheet music, bringing our collaboration full circle.
