Jem Talaroc - DAGWAY (for Clarinet and Orchestra)

"How precious to me are your thoughts, Oh God. How vast is the sum of them."

"Pagkabililhon usab sa imong mga huna-huna alang kanako, Oh Dios. Pagkadaku sa hilabihan ang gidaghanon nila!”

This uses the Cebuano version of Psalm 139: 17. In this piece, it is the composer’s idea that the vastness of God’s creation is one that Man cannot comprehend as we are but ridiculously small components of this universe. The structure of this piece is derived and expanded from a musical phrase whose intervals are based on the overtone series, a natural harmony of nature.  It is a perpetuation of the fact that one cannot fully perceive the beauty of a huge entity in which we are only a small part.
