- Summary
- Meditation at Lagunitas (2014) for wind ensemble was commissioned by The American Bandmasters Association (ABA) and the University of Florida, and premiered by the University of Alabama Wind Ensemble, conducted by Dr. Rick Good, at the 2014 ABA Annual Convention in Montgomery, Alabama. -- This work is inspired by Robert Hass' poem "Meditation at Lagunitas.” The poem is a philosophical discussion, examining the significance of words. Hass is continuously meditating on words as ideas, stirring recollections of images, scents, memories, love, lust, joy and friendship. In the unique kaleidoscope of an individual word, such as “blackberry,” I saw both clarity and abstraction. Musically, this inspired an unfolding theme that began with a heroic statement in the brass that, by dissolving harmonic, registral, rhythmic and timbral variations, became the “clarity of a general idea” of some unknown and beautiful word.
