Program Note
As a flute player myself, composing Emerging Tango was a truly enjoyable experience. The term ‘emerging’ has become somewhat overused in our compositional world, often tied only to individuals under 25. I am hopeful this context is beginning to shift. We are all constantly emerging—shifting and reemerging—and that process is necessary and valuable for artists at any age.
“From the age of six I had a penchant for copying the form of things, and from about fifty, my pictures were frequently published; but until the age of seventy, nothing I drew was worthy of notice. At seventy-three years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects and fish. Thus when I reach eighty years, I hope to have made increasing progress, and at ninety to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at one hundred years I will have achieved a divine state in my art, and at one hundred and ten, every dot and every stroke will be as though alive. ”
Hokusai: Postscript to One Hundred Views of Mt Fuji, 1834.
