"When I began composing A Wayward Leaf, it wasn’t about a leaf at all but rather a goldfinch. On a sunny day in June, I was walking through a forest preserve when I spotted a sprite, flittering, silly little goldfinch crossing my path in front of me. He bounced and undulated through the air with flamboyant bravado, and his golden feathers offered an entertaining counterpoint to the brilliant blue sky behind him. I was mesmerized and thought, most assuredly, I would write a piece inspired by him.

A year later, I composed a melody that skipped and bobbled just like that little goldfinch. However, as my writing progressed, the character of the piece slowly changed. Is this really about a goldfinch or is it about something else entirely? I sent the piece to Phil Erklen who showed it to a music student. She offered a title for the piece: A Wayward Leaf. How strange is it that a title so unrelated to the initial inspiration would fit so well? Perhaps a leaf, with its own windswept flight pattern, embodies the memory of the goldfinch perfectly. So, the name stuck.

Thanks to Ed Penner for painting the incredible artwork to go along with it. This piece would be incomplete without your contribution.
I dedicate this piece to my dear friend Herman White for his unconditional love of music and his endless support of its creation. Thank you, Herman, for always being there in the audience, smiling away. This one’s for you."
