Reverence

By Ellen Bennett | December 29, 2020

I wrote “Reverence” several years ago to commemorate the aftermath of a fire that gutted the First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Given our current tragic loss and a longing for what was, the piece has just as much significance for me today. Our lives have been ravaged by a viral fire, one that continues to roar out of control just as the vaccines are rolling out. I dedicate this piano solo to dear friends who battle this fire on the front lines of health care every single day. And to the many unsung heroes we will never know.

    Ellen, Your music always finds a place deep inside that I didn’t know I had. Thank you for once again taking me there. I love you honey.
