Product Description

In 2010, the Los Angeles Doctors Symphony commissioned me to write a large scale orchestral work that would become Ancient Dreams. In that piece, I was focused on dreamers of the distant past. The concept of my new work, Orbit: A Symphonic Fantasy, is concerned with dreamers and visionaries who look towards the future. "Orbit: A Symphonic Fantasy" is an epic space themed symphonic poem. The original version was written for symphony orchestra and it is here arranged for symphonic band. The overall feeling I attempted to capture with this piece is one of vigorous heroism, evocative lyricism, and spirited adventure. The work is suggestive of this quote from Mark Twain: "Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Inspired by the final flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program that ended on July 21, 2011, I wanted to create a tribute of sorts to the spirit of adventure, heroism, and exploration from those who have a dream to explore and the courage to meet the future without fear. Orbit: A Symphonic Fantasy was first performed by the Los Angeles Doctors Symphony Orchestra with David Weiss conducting on November 18, 2012.
