From the composer:
"Initially, Catherine Hawkins commissioned 'Joy' in 2018 to mark the 50th birthday of her husband David Windsor and to celebrate his inspirational survival from a random attack in 2017. However, the purpose of the commission had broadened in after I played the first draft of 'Joy" over the phone to Catherine. Unknowingly, I had written a piece evoking the memory of Catherine's mother, for whom music brought great joy. And so Catherine and David dedicated 'Joy' to the memory of Margaret Anne Hawkins (O'Brien) 13.1.1937–13.1.2017. "Mother. Music-lover. Much missed."While composing Joy in a Minor Key I attempted to achieve a fleeting, light, poetic, almost never 'touching the ground' quality. The piece is a waltz written in my favorite form of rondo with a coda."
