national anthem [no. iii]

(2018)

for solo piano

programme note

after James James

what is it to be nationalistic?

patriotic
                jingoistic
            chauvinistic

                            xenophobic

how can we look to a flag for solidarity, a single mark of individualism and - in turn - isolation, yet not look at those around us for consolidation?
