HOPE

Weeks after I composed this piece, I suffered the most tragic loss of my life: Both my parents passed away two weeks apart.

Before passing away, my mother named this piece HOPE.

Three months later, my husband and I found out I was pregnant with our first child!

In memory of my beloved parents, in dedication to my husband who is my rock and who held me up in the valley of my most profound sorrow, and in anticipation of our child who will soon be born, I bring you my live studio recording: A piano song of love with a melodic build up ending in a musical apotheosis of
HOPE.
