NOTE
"Desiderium" is a Latin word that symbolizes both a nostalgic
longing for the past and a quiet hope for the future yet to come.
I composed this piece while feeling as though I were standing precisely
between those two points in time—between what has been and what is yet
to be.
This piece is written for two-mallet performance, with each hand carrying
its own independent melodic narrative.
The two voices intertwine in a contrapuntal texture, supporting and enhancing
one another as the music unfolds.
A quiet longing for the past, and a gentle hope for the future—both are
reflected in every note of this piece.
