When the Heart Took Wing

When the Heart Took Wing is a solo piano remembrance of a second date in Memphis: morning light in an old gymnasium, a sudden downpour on Poplar Avenue, and an afternoon among Chinese and Japanese art at the Brooks Museum. At its heart is one radiant image—Lisa turning in a circle with her arms outstretched, as if briefly taking flight. The music transforms rain, wonder, affection, and memory into a lyrical journey that finally comes to rest in quiet resolution.
