Haydn Voyages: Seven Last Words

2024

A live reading of an original piece selected by So Say We All for their collaboration with the Hausmann Quartet, performed at an Verbatim Books in San Diego. Haydn’s The Seven Last Words is a composition of seven meditative movements, one for each of Jesus’ final sayings before his passing.

My piece was selected for the movement “It is finished.” (John 19:30). This piece explored grief, memory, and the body as a vessel for transmutation.
