THERE ARE NO WORDS
featuring Da Capo Chamber Choir with Cellist – Miriam Stewart Kroeker
LYRICS
Dedicated to the memory of Jason and Tessa.
Jason Corey Enns Tessa Barlow Riley 1969-2021 1975-2021
The expression of grief often strains the capability of our spoken language; there are no words. That reality was the starting point for my composition, originally written in memory of my nephew, Jason, who died of cancer in the midst of a vigorous life, leaving a pre-teen son, a wife, siblings and a father with an echoing gap in their lives. Then, a week before the premiere of this piece, my dear niece, Tessa, died in Toronto, also of cancer, leaving a husband, three young children, parents, sisters and a loving extended family. This piece is dedicated to the memory of both of these dear people.
Words fail.
