THE OTHER SIDE OF TIME

The Other Side of Time was written for the New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble at the request of its director, Charles Peltz. It is scored for 25 wind instruments, timpani, and 4 percussionists. After a brooding beginning, each of its contiguous sections develops at a different but related tempo, often moving within from lyrical lines to dramatic outbursts. The final section, at the original tempo, recalls the material of the opening and its anxious percussion activity. While the piece is meant to reflect some kind of spiritual journey, the title is actually taken from a book by paleontologist/geologist Robert Titus on the origins of the Catskill Mountains in New York State.

FANTASY AND FUGUE, for two pianos and percussion instruments: hommage a Bartok

This work was commissioned by MTNA for their 2002 national competition. Two movements: the Fantasy, which is heroic (at times, frenzied) in nature, and the Fugue, whose somber tones steal forward at a mysterious pace. Both movements contain motivic quotations of Béla Bartók.
