Oceanus

Oceanus was the sea-god of Roman mythology who was the father of rivers and streams, and was personified as a huge river that circled the earth. The piece begins with the rippling of water as it endlessly circles the world, and builds into a depiction of the rolling waves of the deep ocean and the storms that move across the surface of the waters.

Of Metal and Magic

Inspired by Norse mythology, this piece depicts the creation of Odin's spear, Gungnir, forged by the dwarf Dvalin. The music captures the meticulous work of the blacksmiths, with percussion and woodwind instruments tapping on music stands and using metal sounds to mimic the forging process. The steady tempo and unified articulation emphasize the deliberate crafting of the mythical weapon.

Okefenokee: Land of Trembling Earth

Named Land of the Trembling Earth because the peat bog, which floats on water, moves when walked upon, the Okefenokee Swamp is a natural wonder. Starting mysteriously with a full-band sound, moving through a middle section with a flute or recorder solo that depicts the life of the early inhabitants, and ending with a spirited dance that features woodwind runs, brass countermelodies and thunderous timpani and bass drum parts, this unique composition offers performers the chance to perform a programmatic work that will challenge and entertain at the same time.
