OPHELIA'S LAMENT
BY ALAN FUTTERMAN
CARLY ANN WORDEN, soprano
In Partnership with
the Bremerton WestSound Symphony
"The wind dances softly
and the air whispers,
echoes of ages past.
Grant me a moment of golden embers grasping at leaves,
towering trees that twist and writhe amongst the ruins.
Sacred Sanctuary,
where stories of old bask in sobering truth,
and allow our countless questions to slumber,
Barefoot on the forest floor, bathed in life,
Come.
Rest in nature's grace"

Written, Performed, and Produced by C. A. Worden

The Quarantine Project
In Partnership with
the Bremerton WestSound Symphony
We hope you enjoy this virtual performance by sequestered members of Bremerton WestSound Symphony and Chorale.
The coronavirus pandemic has serious ramifications for the future of live music. The orchestra and chorale are unable to meet, rehearse, perform, or sell tickets. This critical lack of revenue now will impact our ability to perform concerts into next season.
Live music has the power to lift the human spirit but at this time we must depend on the generosity of people like you to continue playing.
If you are able, please consider the role music plays in your life and make your gift today.
No amount is too small to make a difference.

Chamber Music
LISTEN
San Juan Sinfonietta
for chamber ensemble
This work depicts a sailboat departing in dense fog from the Port of Bellingham in Northern Washington State. The fog clears and the passengers see the expanse of waves against the horizon, the birds flying in the skies above, and the sound of whales heard in the waters below. The journey comes to a conclusion as the boat approaches an island at dusk to drop anchor for the night in a lively port town. Finally, the scenery of the landscape is in full view, and the sun sets on the picturesque, forested San Juan Islands.
Waiting
for piano, violin, and cello
“O let not Time deceive you,
You cannot conquer Time.
In the burrows of the Nightmare
Where Justice naked is,
Time watches from the shadow
And coughs when you would kiss.
In headaches and in worry
Vaguely life leaks away,
And Time will have his fancy,
To-morrow or to-day.”
-As I Walked Out One Evening
W.H. Auden
LISTEN
Refuge
for piano, clarinet, and cello
I am extremely fortunate to have hundreds of hours of my childhood recorded, and I have watched each video so many times that they are all committed to memory.
In writing Refuge, I wanted to reflect on the blessing of being able to relive my childhood over and over, and that it is always a place I can return to if I ever feel lost.
