Righteous Rage (2024)
Instrumentation: Eight Bassoons
Duration: 10’
As I enter my mid-thirties, I find myself often thinking of the world I want to leave behind for the next generation and the work that must be done for that to happen. Sometimes I fear my grandchildren won't know the smell of fresh pine in the fall or the feeling of salty ocean waves crashing at your ankles. I fear that, like me, the won't know a world free of genocide, where Black and Brown people are free, love is love, and gender is looked at as an odd relic of the past. When I lay up at night thinking about these things, the work that must be done, and the oppresive resistance all around us, it angers me. This piece is a reflection of that rage.
