about

Commissioned in 2012 by Edwin Moody and written for violinist Brooke Quiggins, to call her to a higher plain. confronts the American condition and the difficulty of retaining one's optimism for the future in a time when all evidence seems to point to the contrary. It is partly based on sections of Alvin Toffler's 1980 book The Third Wave, and the title comes from the George McGovern quote “The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.”
