For my Meditation for violin and string orchestra Lonely Angel, I was guided by the following vision: An angel hovers over the world, contemplating the state of the battered Earth with tears in his eyes. But an almost imperceptible, loving touch with his wings brings comfort and healing.
This piece is a response to the pain. The solo part of the violin lends a sonorous voice to the lonely angel who tirelessly watches over the Earth.
