Los Órganos

Performed by Orchestra 2001 with Jayce Ogren (conductor) and Rinde Eckert (narrator)

I. The subtleness of the sea
II. Whale-Lines
III. Old age
IV. The color white

Herman Melville's novel "Moby-Dick; or, The Whale" (1851) was famously described by D.H. Lawrence as "the greatest book of the sea ever written". It tells the story of an obsessive sea captain who decides to take revenge on Moby Dick - the whale that bit off his leg. In this composition for narrator and ensemble I offer musical responses to Melville's alluring prose.

ICE CONCERTO (2018) for violin solo and percussion ensemble

Dedicated to the musicianship of the violin artista Sini Virtanen (Helsinki, FI) — commissioner of the work, funded by Madetoja Foundation — as well as Robert McCormick and his McCormick Percussion Group (USF Tampa, FL). They all gave an absolutely spectacular world premiere at the enticingly tour-de-force USF New-Music Festival 2018 in Tampa, followed by a concentrated and highly musical world premiere recording of my musical little daydream, later on the very same day (!), at the city's prestigious Spring Theatre studio.
