Timothy fain biography

Bitterroot Valley website. I recall many moments when, as a violinist performing on-stage with Matt Haimovitz, I have been struck by his ability to bring an effortless lyricism to even the most challenging phrases. When Matt asked me to write a solo cello work for him, I knew that I would explore this quality of unabashed lyricism. I was also excited to push the instrument and player!

With the broadest playable range of any of the string family, the cello is capable of pitches far up into the stratosphere which, proportionally on the violin, are borderline unlistenable even in the hands of the most skilled player. On the cello, they have a fragile expressive lyricism and other-worldly quality. As a violinist and composer, I strive to make the world a more beautiful place, and to give people permission to feel deeply through the music I create.

Edge of a Dream for violin and orchestra is about holding on to hope in the face of great adversity. Looking back, I now realize that I needed to express this intense, and at times forceful yearning during the pandemic, to hold on to the hope of a better future.
