Wellspring Ensemble - Celestial Beauty
A Dream. The concert Celestial Beauty is based on a dream I had many months ago. I had been toying with a central theme that would tie some pieces together and bring me ideas of ways to fill out the program. One thing I was certain about was the current political climate and societal frustration that is on the front of everyones mind.
In the dream, one is searching, adrift, looking for a means of escape from the oppressive bombardment of hate. After long moments of a slow churning stomach, sick with the thoughts of that which was witnessed, one climbs, in search of inspiration. The mountain conquered, one last look in exhaustion reaffirms the disappointment of society.
Collapsing in sleep, one can dream of fanciful things! Released from the troubles of the day, one can even fly! Inspired, one takes a leap and flies themselves! Out past the moon, stars, planets, and everything beautiful.
Calling to our character, ever present, is a longing for that which we once had. An echo that we have left behind beautiful things as well. Finally, content with celestial wandering, one turns to gaze on earth once more. A reminder that in order to change that which we must, one must be present and active in that change.
