Story behind the song
This is a piece for symphony orchestra that I wrote for the Olympia Chamber Orchestra. This was completed in 2 weeks, and performed at our last concert from last season (2014). Largely atonal throughout it relies on the repetition of the opening gestures in various ways. A constant and relentless question asked through the piece, even in its frantic middle section. This question is finally resolved at the end by the solo clarinet. Overall an enjoyable piece that I had fun writing and conducting. This is not the live recording.
