Composer's Notes
“We must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
– Benjamin Franklin (attrib.)
“A house divided against itself, cannot stand … I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.”
– Abraham Lincoln
Commissioned by and written for pianist Lior Willinger, Hang Together is dedicated to the memory of Louis Andriessen, a friend and mentor, whose work proves that a political message can be encoded in notes, rhythms, and forms. It lasts approximately four minutes.
