Distance (2016)
for Cello & Marimba
Duration: 12 minutes
Composed in memory of Roger Lundin—a beloved teacher, scholar, and friend—this elegy for cello and marimba is inspired by Miho Nonaka’s poem Distance, written in Roger’s honor. The instrumentation reflects his quiet strength and depth, while musical quotations from Prepare Me One Body and For All the Saints pay tribute to his faith, humility, and devotion. Evoking themes of body, breath, grace, and memory, the work is dedicated to Roger’s wife, Susan Lundin.
