After It's Over for Violin, Cello, and Piano depicts how innocence can be upended. With a recurring, uplifting theme, constructed with a pattern of 12/8, 6/8, and 9/8 bars, the music moves along with a seemingly joyful exuberance, until the piano interjects with its threatening and ominous presence. The valiant struggle to drown out the sound of violence continues, leaving us to wonder what will be, "After It's Over."
What people are saying:
Thank you for composing your After It’s Over Piano Trio and for treating the invasion of Ukraine with such compassion. I am of Ukrainian background and regularly in contact with relatives in Ukraine. It is uncanny how your sensitive and wonderfully crafted composition captures the essence of current life in Ukraine. The joy, innocence, and normalcy of daily existence have been shattered. The strings and piano of your trio perfectly capture the tension between the aspiration to light and life and daily life-threatening violence and darkness. Your beautiful soaring tunes and rhythmically dense textures create a beautiful, expressive and compelling composition. The visual imagery only compounds the power of your work. - @evhen21 on youtube.
Fantastic composition and performance, showing your view on the 'Ukrainian disaster'. I'm as well profoundly touched by this 21st century drama, even so that it prevents me from composing. In my mind I'm kind of possessed with the unreal evil and brutality that a highly cultivated people must suffer, solely because they chose the path of democracy and thus were a threat to the Russian Federation... Luckily some artistic souls like yourself took the courage to write an aesthetic answer to such unjust aggression. Thank you in the name of all who suffer and have to deal with terrible losses of father, husband, child... Jos Wylin
