Program Note
the impending silence was commissioned by The
Florida Orchestra and the School of Music at Florida
International University and written for The Florida
Orchestra for performance during their 2019/2020
season that celebrates the 250th anniversary
of Beethoven’s birth. The title is a reference to
Beethoven’s loss of hearing and to the composer’s
ongoing interest in the exploration of sound and
its progression towards silence, a phenomenon
somewhat analogous to what Beethoven was
experiencing. In the piece, Garcia imagines how
impending deafness would impact Beethoven’s
sonic palette if he were alive today and working
with the sonic possibilities that surround us. Garcia
explores harmonic fragments that are all somehow
related but often fleeting and isolated. These
include receding sonic explosions throughout the
work. The composer’s musical gestures depict what
Beethoven might have encountered emotionally
and physically if he were composing today and
dealing with his impending silent world.
