Program Notes The title "Passionate Isolation" comes from the prose-poem No More Secondhand God by R. Buckminster Fuller. The following lines begin the book: Late tonight (April 9, 1940) I am just sitting here for one of the many reasons that people find themselves passionately isolated. (The cause is rarely noble.) Written in solitude during a period of international turmoil at the beginning of World War II, Fuller's text attracted me as a mirror of our own troubled world in 2004. To the many isolated individuals in our world, it can appear that, as human beings, we are locked into a fate of a continuous cycle of abuses of power leading to armed conflict. Consequently, I saw the movements of this piece as: 1) the Ritual of impotent international deliberations, 2) the Misgivings of the World's population in the face of impending war, and 3) the inevitable March of the military machine.
