Program Notes
The Messiah College Brass Choir commissioned me to compose a work for the grand opening of The Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and the Performing Arts. The music is meant to be vibrant and energetic as it mimics a distant pulsar emitting bursts of light and energy. The star can illuminate the most wondrous display of beauty and color, showing off its magnificent power and nobility.
