In difficult times, we often seek closeness to other people in order to draw the strength from our relationships that allows us to be happy against all odds. The pieces in this programme capture the emotions of these bonds in music. It's about the love and affection we feel for our romantic partners. It is about the sadness we experience when our desire for these relationships is not fulfilled. It's about the security we find in places other than our partners: faith, nature and home. It is about the path that leads us home.
