"Lyric No. 9: Distant Hope" addresses longing and aspiration — the particular quality of hope directed at something remote in space or time. This earlier numbered work in the Lyric series establishes the project of translating emotional experience into formal terms that would continue through the series' final high-numbered iterations. "Distant Hope" is rendered through the specific formal choices of this composition: perhaps receding colors, forms that reach without quite arriving, spatial structures that evoke extension and aspiration rather than completion.
