about

"To Spill Oneself Away" (2022) is a moto perpetuo, meaning that it is constantly in motion: there is never a breath or a pause in the work. It was written in 2021 for pianist Matthew McCright, a personal friend. The title is a paraphrase of a line from Anne Morrow Linbergh's book Gift from the Sea, which chronicles the stages of a woman's life, and still resonates with me each time I read it. The relevant passage states: "Is this then what happens to woman? She wants perpetually to spill herself away. All her instinct as a woman - the eternal nourisher of children, of men, of society - demands that she give." While as a middle-aged woman this quote resonates with me, I believe it to resonate with most human beings. We give, in order to nurture, to support, to maintain health and happiness, and hopefully to leave the world in a better place than we find it. It is exhausting work, but done from love, from need, and from optimism. It is a Gift.
