Really beautiful, free and flowing. Strongly meditative but also with stirring intensities. So wonderful to watch this terrific performance, Greg. Many congratulations on the piece and having this fine recording to memorialize it, especially a longer piece like this.

Thanks John, I appreciate hearing your thoughts. So glad we filmed this concert. Too often works get performed without being filmed and then are lost in the ether!
This was absolutely outstanding. The composition and the execution of this magnificent masterpiece. Bravo 👏

Very kind of you to say. Amici did such a wonderful job giving the premiere of this piece. It was a pleasure to compose it for them.
Wonderfully composed and played! The music, with it's up and downs, retains that overall grey color - which is well complemented by the black-white visuals.

Thank you Erica. I loved writing this piece, and Amici performed it so well!
It is a masterpiece. I particularly loved the 2nd movement, so dense with emotion, and where each player had an occasion to shine. Congratulations!

Thanks Richard, I appreciate you having a listen. I do love writing for strings!
Amazing work, Greg! It must have been so satisfying to see this performed; what an awesome privilege! Really beautiful piece; I listened while walking on this very nice spring day. Here are a few random things that I really liked: - the prevalence of pizzicato throughout - the warm “melt” into a different mood just before 5 minutes - the stacked fifths beginning around 7 minutes - the quietness before and then during the second movement, with sometimes only a single note sounding softly - the hopefulness and joyous finish of the third movement I mentally clapped along with the audience - I hope you do more work with strings in the future!

It really was a privilege to see this piece come to life, thanks to these 6 incredible musicians. Thanks so much for listening to the whole piece and for your thoughtful comments, Bethany. There's a lot I could say about it (I gave a 10 minute spoken intro to the piece at the concert), but it's often best to just let the music speak for itself! I would love to write more for strings in the future. Hope all's well with you and your family.
Excellent.. Congratulations 👍Have a good day Danielle 🎵 🎶👋

I feel something flowing.. that's the first thing that came in my mind after a whole 20 minutes. And i felt something that can't describe actually, something translucent...
