Program note: Paper Wings is dedicated to my mother, Nancy Bondurant Jones, who, among many other lifetime accomplishments, was a writer. The title is in tribute to how her writings continually strengthened her resolve and lifted her spirits, as if with “paper wings”. (Originally composed for Michael Braudy’s request for a piece for solo violin.)
