| dc.description.abstract | Suite of Roads is an orchestral suite comprising of two contrasting movements. This work explores and develops my original musical ideas in regard to the nature of roads and their role in connecting individuals and societies. Each movement follows the musical narrative of a hypothetical road, the first being titled "To" and the second being titled "From." All of my musical ideas evolve out the lucid imagined experience of traveling along one of these roads-away from a musical "home" to an imagined destination, then making a return trip along a very different yet equally vivid route. The musical ideas in the first movement are vast, spacious, and wandering, whereas the second movement is quick and vigorous. True to the concept of departure and return, the musical material presented at the beginning of the first movement briefly reappears at the end of the second movement, thus signaling the end of the musical journey and the final return home. | en_US |
