Program Notes

Mystic Embers is a grade 4+ work for four-part adaptable ensemble, percussion, and fixed media.

Sitting around a campfire, I often find myself staring up at the embers as they flicker and dance off into the abyss.

- Program Note by composer

Performance Notes

Mystic Embers is a piece for any combination of instruments, including winds, strings, with percussion and fixed media. This piece can be performed with as few as four players and parts are entirely adaptable. I encourage you to adapt this piece and each part for your ensemble, which will allow for a truly unique performance.
