Amazing Grace - Arrangement

Live recording of the premiere of "Traced Upon Cinders".  Either/Or Ensemble, conducted by Richard Carrick, and the DiMenna Center for Classical Music, Cary Hall. (April 12, 2014 - recorded by Ryan Streber).

"Traced Upon Cinders" is a partner piece to my percussion sextet "Etched in Sand" (2013).  The notes to "Etched in Sand" read:

“To etch is to cut, carve, or engrave a text or design onto a surface (traditionally metal, glass, or stone).  This process leaves a permanent design on the original surface.

“I recall going to the shore as a child and spending hours etching designs into the wet, hardened sand at the threshold of beach and sea.  With the sun on my back I would revel in the glory of these beautiful and ephemeral pieces of art that I created using the sand as my canvas and a stray seashell as my stylus.  As evening encroached, the tide would slowly come in, its regular cycles of crashing waves a whispering reminder of the passing of time.  The gently lapping water would inevitably creep towards my etchings, and as it neared I waited, in tense anticipation, for the arcs of water blindly reaching up the beach.  As the first finger of water washed over my design, the image began its transformation into a subdued echo of itself.  For a short time – an eternity – I would solemnly watch my day’s work gently fade away into the original blank canvas.”

As an adult, I often look back to memories of moments from my childhood.  I trace these images over and over again in my mind, seeking new meanings and connections.  But as time passes their fidelity erodes; they are now cinders of the burning moments they once were, and quickly they do fade.

"Traced Upon Cinders" was written for the Either/Or Ensemble.

Notes:

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, 
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. 
Omitted, all the voyage of their life 
Is bound in shallows and in miseries. 
On such a full sea are we now afloat. 
And we must take the current when it serves
Or lose our ventures.”

-William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar, Act IV Scene III)

Rising Tide was premiered by the Divertimento Ensemble on September 21, 2015 at the Milano EXPO Gates.

Intérprete: Orquesta Sinfónica de Venezuela

HUEHANNA es el nombre del mito de los indios Makiritare, donde se narra la lucha entre Wanadi, dios del bien, de la creación y de la vida, y Odo´sha, dios de la destrucción, el mal y la muerte. Este mito refleja la visión dialéctica de la vida donde cada fin se presenta como el comienzo de un nuevo ciclo.

Esta obra para orquesta está inspirada en este mito, reflejando el eterno retorno en cada movimiento donde los mismos materiales se reproducen y se trasforman, abriendo y cerrando ciclos a través del diálogo entre la fuerza percutida y la suavidad tímbrica.

Huehanna (fragmento: IV movimiento)

A robin less than six feet from the Rode NT55 mics. Rolled off some bass as a road 1/4 of a mile away was a bit of a problem. A dog walker came along and Robin flew off to another perch. Omni capsules and Rycote Baby Ball Gags fitted to mics.
