Distance was composed in early 2009 (and later revised in 2011) when I was feeling very homesick. The title was
inspired by the big change that comes when one relocates 1,000 miles away from familiar territory to begin a new life.
Although this kind of event is very exciting, it also can create pain from the absence of friends and family. The music is
intended to sound bittersweet in nature because it's meant to reflect both of these things.
I don't usually try to write in a specific form, as I feel that can hurt the natural flow of how the music wants to develop.
However, this piece is indeed in anABAform. Almost all of the thematic material in the piece is written in a major key,
but with the goal of sounding a little sad. While writing this, I was heavily influenced by the music of Ennio Morricone
and Dan Forrest. There is a short motive used in the B section of the piece that is similar to a motive used in various
film themes. Since I associate this motive with Morricone, and because he is one of my all time favorite composers, I
decided to dedicate this piece to him.
