Schott — Be Still — String Orchestra and Crotales Study Score

Written towards the end of 2020, “Be Still” is a reflective piece on the year gone by. In a year where lockdowns became a thing, the idea of time became more apparent to me as everyday markers, such as meeting with friends and family, travelling or attending concerts vanished.

Whilst writing “Be Still” the opening lines of TS Eliot's Burnt Norton, the first of his Four Quartets, came to mind:

Time present and time past/ Are both perhaps present in time future/And time

Future contained in time past/ If all time is eternally present/ All time is unredeemable.

And as I look back at the year and attempt to fix in my mind events, they slither away from my grasp like clouds passing by in thesky.
