"to know and comprehend the nature or meaning of."

trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding... - Proverbs 3:5-6

Fathom is the third and final movement of the symphony, exploring the profound emotions of loss, grief, and the journey toward understanding and acceptance. The music unfolds as a reflection—one of sorrow, remembrance, and ultimately, peace.

A two-note motif, first introduced by the cello and bassoon, rises and falls like waves of emotion, shaping the movement’s expressive core. As Fathom progresses, echoes of themes from the first two movements reappear, weaving together memories of the past. The introduction of a female chorus—sopranos and altos—adds a deeply human voice to the journey, guiding the listener toward resolution.

In the final moments, the rise-and-fall motif returns one last time—this time heard in reverse, played by the oboe, ascending instead of descending. This transformation signals Jackie’s journey beyond, a musical representation of her ascent into heaven.

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  I have started work on a violin sonata. My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
