Now and Ever was written for David Russell and is dedicated to David and his wife Maria. I will always be grateful to David for asking me to compose this work for him. David’s recording of the work can be found in his 2009 CD For David on the Telarc Label. My recording of the work can be found on my 2020 CD, Scenes From Ellis Island on New Focus Records. I recommend anyone who wants to perform this work to listen to these recordings and feel free to alter passages that are different from this printed score.
Now and Ever is my musical statement about the horrors of slavery. The final section is a kind of musical prayer asking for the end of any type of slavery anywhere on this or any other planet.
Finally, I would like to thank Nathan Huvard for his excellent engraving of the piece and sound editing advice.

Now and Ever a été écrit pour David Russell et est dédié à David et à sa femme Maria. Je serai à jamais reconnaissant envers David de m'avoir demandé de composer cette œuvre pour lui. L'enregistrement de l'œuvre par David peut être trouvé dans son CD de 2009 For David sur le label Telarc. Mon enregistrement de l'œuvre se trouve sur mon CD de 2020, Scenes From Ellis Island, publié par New Focus Records. Je recommande à toute personne souhaitant interpréter cette œuvre d'écouter ces enregistrements et de ne pas hésiter à modifier les passages qui diffèrent de cette partition imprimée.
Now and Ever est ma déclaration musicale sur les horreurs de l'esclavage. La section finale est une sorte de prière musicale demandant la fin de toute forme d'esclavage, ici ou ailleurs dans l'univers.
Enfin, je tiens à remercier Nathan Huvard pour sa gravure excellente de la pièce et ses conseils sur l'édition sonore.
