Project Unity is a composition written for classical orchestral instruments, choirs, organ, electric guitar and bass, and an 80's synthesizer.  With this instrumentation, there is both a sense of unity throughout the piece, but also unity within diversity. Each major ensemble (instrumentalists, choir, percussion, and electric instruments) is featured throughout Project Unity, and the choral feature is meant to have us ponder and reflect on why we need unity in the world. Why is it important?

Musically, there are 3 themes you will hear throughout the piece. The major
seventh chord is used frequently in the unity theme, moving by mediants and
conveying change and the beauty that we can find within it. The second theme is
spearheaded by the synthesizer and electric instruments and the third by the
choir.
