Program Notes
Lachrymae is considered to be the most intense in a series of provocative works by the composer. It is "a requiem for victims of 'righteous' political violence". Because of the deeply personal response to what seems to be an expanding global issue, Mr. Goto has limited his dedication to that of a general protest against violence upon the innocent.
- Program Note by publisher
Lachrymae was commissioned by the Executive Committee for 21st Century Wind Music in Japan and completed in September 2005. The work was premiered on March 5, 2006, by the Kanagawa University Symphonic Band, Toshiro Ozawa, conductor.
This piece was originally composed as a requiem for victims of political and religious conflicts throughout the world. The people mourned in this music are not only the victims of the tragedy of September 11, 2001, in New York City, but also all innocent people killed by “righteous” forces throughout history. Therefore, this piece is a protest against political violence. The work borrows from the dirge Lachrymae Antiquae, a pavan of John Dowland (1563-1626) from Lachrimae, or Seven Tears.
