Description
Memory Believes (a requiem) is a seven-movement work for chamber choir and string quartet dedicated to the memory of the composer's brother, Jonathan Adolphe (1952-2022). Four Meditation movements, each for solo violin, solo cello, solo viola, and the entire string quartet, are interspersed with three movements that include the choir and quartet. The texts set are "Because I could not stop for Death" (Emily Dickinson), "Are there not a thousand forms of sorrow" (Ethan Canin), and "Memory Believes" (William Faulkner).
