During my time at The Hartt School David was an important figure for me: A wonderful teacher and mentor, a free spirit, friend, and eventually a colleague. One of my greatest regrets is that I never studied with him privately, although his Music Since 1950 course is one of the best courses I have ever taken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’m ashamed to say that after leaving Connecticut I did not stay in touch as well as I would have liked, only a few posts on social media every so often. Still, his passing shook me to my core. Not a day goes by where I don’t think on him fondly, and wonder what music he still had to give us. I am constantly reflecting on the things he taught me, not only as a musician, but as a human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid passed while I was already knee deep in composing this piece. After his passing I reworked many pas-sages as my grief got the better of me. It doesn’t really reflect the music I associate with him, but it does, in many ways, reflect my mindset as I wrote it. Pangs of pure grief give way to a cynical waltz which in turn finds acceptance in a meditative final section. David left us suddenly, and no one, so far as I know, was able to say goodbye. So let this piece be my farewell: Goodbye David, we miss you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/632789319\u0026amp;color=%23862868\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Kyle Wernke 1\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kyle-wernke-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKyle Wernke 1\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Piano Trio, In Memoriam David Macbride\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kyle-wernke-1\/piano-trio-in-memoriam-david-macbride\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePiano Trio, In Memoriam David Macbride\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Piano Trio \/ Score and Parts \/ Print","offer_id":45421015433503,"sku":"JAT-133-003-SP","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Piano Trio \/ Score and Parts \/ PDF Download","offer_id":45421015466271,"sku":"JAT-133-003-SPe","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/00Wernke_PianoTrio.png?v=1689187979","url":"https:\/\/justatheorypress.com\/products\/wernke-pianotrioinmemoriamdavidmacbride","provider":"Just a Theory Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
