Abstract Details

2015, Master of Music (MM), Ohio University, Music Composition (Fine Arts).
Pandora is a composition for wind symphony based upon the Greek mythological character, Pandora. In the myth, she is responsible for bringing misery into the world by opening a mysterious wedding gift with the phrase, “do not open” inscribed on it. The composition features elements of a battle between temptation, represented through a demonic fanfare, and willpower, represented through modal lush choral interludes. The choral interludes become overtaken by the dissonant growth of the wind symphony until controlled chaos is released through an explosion of sound. All that remains is a solemn recapitulation of previous themes of the choral interlude.
