A mother's
love is boundless,
never-ending, gentle, and
caressing. Written upon
the passing of the
composer's mother, this
composition opens with a
pure and simple melodic
statement that later
opens into the warmth of
the full ensemble sound,
much like the comfort of
a mother's embrace. The
opening interval of the
minor third is often
heard by a child calling
mom-my, and the piece
closes with the bells
playing this motive. The
composer dedicates this
piece to the memory of
his mother, who always
believed in his hopes and
dreams.
