One Life Beautiful Julie Giroux

The title itself is a double-entendre which in one sense is referring to the person this work is dedicated to as in one life that was beautifully lived. The other sense is a direct observation concluding that having only one life is what makes life so sacred, tragic and so very precious. This is an impressionistic work musically describing that condition. Shakespeares sweet sorrow, the frailty and strength of life, the meaning of what it is to truly live One Life Beautiful.
