From son to father
This is a song from a son in California, and his extended family, to a father with ALS disease in East Germany.
There are three sections of the song, representing three different phases:
Section 1 = A simple piano tune arose in son Torsten's mind, and stayed with him as he thought about his father, far across the sea, struggling with ALS
Section 2 = A short movement to represent the pain of separation and great loss
Section 3 = A weaving together of all of the pieces of a life, family members, love, old memories understood in new ways, and a gathering of love and gratitude for a beloved father. If you listen carefully you'll hear the trumpet--Torsten's father's instrument, interwoven with some electric guitar, a more youthful sound--the sounds of the father and the son. A song to lift everyone up and prepare for whatever is next in the great journey of life.
