REVERENCE FOR THE GODDESS (2020)

Commissioned by the Trinity University Symphonic Wind Ensemble
James Worman, music director and conductor
Premiered : May 9, 2021 in Laurie Hall, San Antonio, TX

Reverence for the Goddess is honoring the Goddesses. There are various Goddesses throughout the world and each represents its own powers - such as Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, courage, compassion, civilization and inspiration.

Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun (in Shinto Japanese mythology), and Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom (the inspiration for the Statue of Liberty). The piece is rhapsodic in nature to express these multiple forms of being, strength, tolerance, warmth and intelligence.

Regarding the ancient goddesses, I often think of our soldiers, mothers, first responders, medical personnel, etc. the miracle workers who protect us and their loved ones so that we can have our routines, including waking up in the morning and going to bed at night.

In 2020, our normal lives have changed completely due to Covid-19, yet I'm here, writing music, in my house, living with our four cats and my family. That's because someone out there keeps protecting our world.
The piece was also inspired by music elements from my home, Japan.

Every Autumn, there's a week-long festival I regularly attended as a child. There are many drums, gongs, flutes and singing when we celebrate our goddesses.

FEAR STRIKES OUT (2015)

XANADU was commissioned by The Florida State University College of Music for the grand reopening of the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall and the 100th anniversary of the College of Music. XANADU is a work inspired by the 80’s, the era in which the composer attended Florida State University as an undergraduate performance and composition major. Like this composition, the 80’s movie with the same title is inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem was an opium-influenced dream describing a stately palace. This work is influenced by 80’s hip-hop culture, TV themes and other pop culture music of the late 70’s-80’s. The first three notes of the 80’s song Xanadu play an important thematic role in the work. This work also has an optional Turntablist (DJ record scratching) part for the percussion.
