From the composer's notes:
Faced with the opportunity to write for such a singularly powerful ensemble,I eagerly launched into my collaboration with the Italian “Monteverdi Cello Octet”on the piece which would come to be called Metanoia. This forceful word was in my mind at the time when the project first took root. While typically translated as the command to “repent,” to the English language, many scholars point out that it equally is an exhortation to “change one's thinking,” in a way which implies a fullness of heart and intellect. In the dark,confused, and increasingly turbulent times in which we live,I cannot help believing that what is necesary is a worldwide “Metanoia.”
