Afterlight (2018/arr. 2023)
For clarinet and piano
Arranged for Jose Franch-Ballester and David Fung
Duration: 7 min
Afterlight was written in response to a multitude of tragedies that occurred in early 2018. The title refers not only to its definition (of retrospect) but also my own interpretation of the word afterlight: that of the "light" that remains when someone passes, in the form of memories, shared experiences, a sense of presence even when someone is gone.
Originally composed in 2018 for soprano saxophone and piano, Afterlight was arranged for clarinet in 2023.
