Synesthesia

When I began conceptualizing the piece, my entire life felt quite rosy. I felt like everything in my life was incredibly good, and that I was truthfully content. I kept experiencing moments in which I would be doing something that made me happy, like spending time with loved ones, eating good food, or listening to good music, and I would become very introspective and remove myself mentally from the situation to say to myself, “This is amazing, and I want to live in this moment forever.” These moments influenced me to want to write a piece for Lyra Trio in which I composed musical ideas that compelled me to feel this same way. About halfway through writing the piece, I came across an essay by scholar and warrior-poet Audre Lorde called “Uses of the Erotic.” In a brief summary, Lorde’s essay discusses how the word ‘erotic’ and erotic feelings have been socially assigned to that which is inherently sexual and pornographic. Lorde argues that eroticism actually refers to things marked by intense passion and joy. When I read this essay for the first time, I felt that the emotional backdrop for my piece had finally been put into words. The warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you practice your passions and do things that make you happy is actually you experiencing erotic feelings. The introspective moments that I kept having were caused by erotic feeling. This is where the title of the piece comes from; “Within the Celebration of the Erotic” is a quote from the essay. My hope is that this piece will bring this erotic feeling to the listener.
