EMBRACING YOU - SEQUENCE OF MIRACLES

Embracing You - Sequence of Miracles is inspired by the profound nature of the love I feel for my fiancée, Jill Abbinanti, and serves as a tribute to her and the love we share. Our story has been shaped by many miracles, the greatest of these is the evolving and dynamic quality of our love – the strongest force. It transcends time and space. 

I have never known such an inspiring and empowering love. Life with Jill is rich in self-revelation. She inspires me to be courageous enough to be vulnerable, to be utterly open without fear of judgment.  My gratitude to the unseen forces that have brought us together is beyond measure. 

The work begins with a theme that represents transcendent love (also represented by the “equation” below). In the score it is designated as “The Equation/Time Traveler.” It is meant to represent the eternal and infinite nature of love. The time traveler theme returns in many guises as the work moves through a cycle of complementary themes in this order: Fanfare - Awakening, Embracing the Past, Embracing Vulnerability, and finally, Embracing Love, Joy and Abundance (all intertwined together).
