Garden Dance (2nd movement symphony #4) was selected on one of CD Baby's best music sampler in 2001.
Bio / Background
Symphony #4 for the Virtual Orchestra is a four-movement work I completed this year. The first movement, Serving Two Masters, begins with the oboe announcing the first theme against the tremolo strings. The slow, dramatic build-up climaxes with the brass announcing a variation on theme two, first heard in the cellos and violas at measure twenty-three. In this section I use a sample and hold oscillating pad against samples of acoustic instruments. The movement ends with a triumphant section followed by darker counterpoint in the winds.
Garden Dance is a dance in 11/8 which is very percussive and celebrates life in the Garden of Eden. Rebel Planet, the third movement (and title of this CD) expresses my feeling of how far our planet is from realizing its spiritual, social and intellectual potential, and how isolated we are because of it.
