Prologue

During the summer of 2020, I was dealing with emotional strife and depression. Instead of letting those emotions get the better of me, I wanted to put all of that and the energy into my work and thus Persevering was what came out of it. Originally scored for Pierrot ensemble, Persevering is a three-movement work with a purpose to bring forth the attributes of perseverance, showcasing three relatable scenarios. The movements are titled:

1. Gradually Overwhelming is the feeling of anxiety and depression collaborating together to combat my emotional well-being.

2. Loneful Endeavors starts out with the vibraphone being ‘The Loneful Endeavor’. What to look for in this movement is the pairing, for each pair represents a couple, a relationship and how each pair blends into the texture as the next pair comes in.

3. Worth the Wait is the homestretch, the feeling that you have successfully persevered…for the moment.

“Out of Ashes” is a journey from trauma and loss, to hope and new life.  The title was inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, who is said to be reborn out of ashes after dying in flames.  “Out of Ashes” begins in the wake of the fiery death, when the Phoenix starts to rise to life.  The work can be interpreted strictly as a retelling of the legend, as a story of human tragedy and triumph, or as the miracle of creation––the transformation of chaos into beauty and order.

The piece is structured around two main themes, which are varied and interspersed throughout.  The first theme is introduced by the cellos and bassoons and represents turmoil and despair.  The second theme, representing peace and hope, is not heard in its entirety until the later half of the work.  Variations of the second theme begin in the trombones and horns shortly after the first theme is introduced, and over the course of the composition, the second theme slowly emerges in its fullness.  At the finale, the Despair theme sounds in the brass section one last time, but it is transformed into a victorious E major chord at the very end.

This is a recording of the world premiere of "Out of Ashes," performed by the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Chris Norton.
