It explores his feelings about a friend who was killed while serving in the armed forces. It is powerfully moving and truly cathartic for performers and listeners who have experienced loss. "Catharsis is more than just a piece of music. For me, it’s a way to connect with my inner self and release deep, strong feelings through the expression of this music. I feel that this piece could be a similarly cathartic experience for any performer in all walks of life." Brian Hecht, Bass Trombone, Atlanta Symphony Movement I: "Playful" Happy memories of childhood fun, playing super-heroes, climbing and falling out of trees. Movement II: "Tragic" The tragedy is announced, then the anger, frustration, denial, then gradual acceptance and coming to peace.
