Performer:
Gilbert Camacho, english horn

Program Notes:
This piece explores the power and potency of creation. I wrote this piece because I sought to musically draw out the act of creation and its fine details. As you listen, I invite you to close your eyes and create something within your imagination. Consider the size, color, shape, dimensions, and personality of your creation. Let the music guide your process. Your creation lives and breathes within you. It can be an inanimate object, a place, or something beyond our understanding. Immerse yourself deeply into the making of your creation. Celebrate your creation in everything you do. It now lives in the world inside your head, experiencing limitless possibilities.

Program Note: 

"Vibrations Heard Afar" is an ever-emerging piece that takes place in the distance. I solely used metallic instruments to create a ringing and piercing sound world. Polyrhythms and mixed meters are used to keep this sound world free and intense. As the piece progresses, time accelerates, density widens and dissonance increases.

Program Note: 

I originally intended this piece to be very mellow all the way through to portray a calm state of water. However, as I continued writing, I started to explore other characteristics of water such as its rapid and harsh movement at times. The end result is a combination of the beauty and roughness of the tides and raindrops that our creative earth brings to us in nature. The listener will hear the fluid overlapping of phrases passed around the ensemble throughout the piece, representing paths of water crossing each other delicately, as well as a war among the tides and harsh rain represented by faster rhythms and increased chromaticism.
