Description
Composer's note: Slate is a work that uses video and still photos of of slate in various stages, to contemplate its natural appearance in nature, its being mined and milled, and finally to its use in architecture. The music performed by the wind ensemble supports these different views of the material, moving from gentle woodwind passages to dramatic brass-heavy outbursts.
