PROGRAM NOTE

In Angustiis (“in anguish”) is a meditation on feelings of political disillusionment. In the opening, a musing and meditative piano line floats disconnected from a long violin melody. The two instruments grow through imitation to a roaring climax, and then they die away, sadly passing the husk of an old political tune between them.
