Long Path was written for my dear friend Solungga Fang-Tzu Liu for the occasion her final concert as a student at the Eastman School of Music.
The piece begins with a reading of the poem of the same title by its author, Fang-Tsu's mother, the much-admired Mongolian poet and painter Muren Hsi (b. 1943). What follows, in hesitant steps, is a musical journey through a recollected moment long since past. It is music of transference and transfiguration, music of memory, renewal, and of acceptance. Here too, a daughter must retrace a mother's "indelible footprints".
