Program Notes
Driving through many major American
cities, it's hard not to notice the plethora of vacant and
abandonded lots. Where once stood proud businesses, lavish homes,
or civic buildings, there is now little more than a blank, grassy
plot of land. Though the blank space on the canvas of the cityscape
can be profoundly sad, something amazing happens within these empty
spaces. Left alone, life swells forth, and these vacant lots start
to produce trees, flowers, and grass. Many people have started
referring to such lots as Ghost Gardens. In this piece, you can
hear where the lot once held a vibrant and exciting tone, only to
slowly fade away and change. Through a series of transitional
themes, the main idea reforms and comes back as the piece
concludes, thus depicting the beauty of the land as it is
reimagined.
