Passacaglia, Op. 72

by Louie Madrid Calleja

/

about

Inspired by and dedicated to Catherine Anne Christie.

To the one I loved,
To the one I lost,
To the memory of the person
that she once was.

Music is the physical manifestation of emotions, and this piece is an exploration of grief associated with separation - of the emotion, of the tension, of acceptance. It is a funeral march.

It is a polyphonic work unified by a 5-bar melody (first stated in the tubas) that serves as a "cantus firmus."

Written in 2001 and premiered in 2002, it is the first piece dedicated (although not notated in the score) to the "Eternal Feminine" - a piece that sparked other works under the same dedication.
