REMEMBRANCE is a pensive eulogy and tribute. We grieve, and reluctantly accept, the passing of those who have profoundly touched our hearts. We cannot clutch the elusive, or possess the scent of memory that defies capture. The only thoughts about this music that matter, are those which privately unfold for the listener.
