Work for solo double bass based on the book of Habakkuk, from the Old Testament of the Bible, chapter 3:  

"Were you angry with the rivers, Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?
You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.
You split the earth with rivers;
the mountains saw you and writhed.
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared
and lifted its waves on high"

A piece of many moods and colors, a virtuosic piece commissioned by the International Society of Bassists for its 2001 convention soloist competition.

Were You Angry With the Rivers

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
