'Hence, I speak to you now...' takes its title from a source I will not disclose in deference to its author. The text refers to the loss or removal of someone from another’s life – whether their relationship be romantic or filial – out of a sense of duty. There is an environment of introspectiveness throughout as the subject deals with a profound, yet necessary sadness, lamenting about what may have been. Out of this immense sadness comes a kaleidoscopic range of emotions, all issuing forth in quick succession. However, each one isa marked by the sense of loss at hand. The piece weaves through these different stages of grief and loss, some beautiful and hopeful, others dismaying and terrifying, linking their expressions together with an E pedal.
