Arranged by Thomas Song
This heartfelt solo cello arrangement of Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce is dedicated to the Livingston family, who tragically perished in the DC plane-helicopter collision. It is crafted to capture the deep emotions of love, loss, and longing. This arrangement is weaved together with expressive musical elements, such as left-hand pizzicato, double stops, harmonics, and polyphonic lines, creating a rich and intimate musical experience.
This arrangement is ideal for advanced cellists seeking a deeply emotional, moving solo work. This piece is perfect for encores, memorial performances, or any setting where music speaks beyond words.
I never had the opportunity to know the Livingston family or the other victims of the tragic DC plane-helicopter collision in life. However, after reading articles about Flight 5342 and learning about those lives who were lost, I was deeply moved. The weight of their story brought me to tears, and I resonate deeply with their stories and felt a profound connection to their memory.
A music arrangement of mine typically takes days or even weeks to complete, but this was different. In what felt like an unexplainable moment of inspiration, I completed this arrangement in a single sitting—just two hours on my bed with an iPad. As if it was something greater was guiding me, helping me bring this music to life, almost feeling like this arrangement is meant to be crafted.
This arrangement is my tribute to the Livingston girls, Everly and Alydia, and their parents, Peter and Donna, and all those who perished. Through this piece, I hope to honor their memory and share the emotions that first inspired me to create it.
Due to the natural resonance of both the D Major and D minor keys, I recommend performing this piece with a cello performance mute in order to enhance its intimate and reflective qualities. Additionally, I have intentionally left bowing options open, allowing performers the freedom to interpret the phrasing in a way that speaks to them personally.
