about

The composition of Lay By draws inspiration from Samuel Barber and James Agee’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, illustrating the sensation of memory through free forms, folk-like melodies, and florid instrumental writing. The piece is given unity through repeated melodic motives, stated at the beginning of each movement. The first movement takes the form of a rhapsody with sections divided by hymnal chord progressions. The second is the development of a repeated melody. The third is centered around an augmented arpeggio, and the fourth around a jubilant descending scale. The piece’s musical and textual trajectory is one that celebrates the values of hope and communion with nature.
