given for a time
Karen P. Thomas
About this work:
"given for a time" for trombone and organ was commissioned by Fondazione Donne in Musica for the Grand Jubilee for the Year 2000, Rome. It was also supported by a Seattle Arts Commission Artist Award.
The work was premiered at the Basilica di Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, Italy in 2000, as part of the celebration of the arts for the millennial Grand Jubilee year in Rome. "given for a time" was inspired by the writings of the 14th-century English mystic Julian (Juliana) of Norwich, who wrote eloquently about the love of God and the equality of God’s feminine and masculine nature.
