     The Fall is my first attempt at writing choral music. Back in late 2014 I was still in my first year of the composition program and working with Dr. Robert Ehle when the first idea of writing for voices came to me. My music performance experience has been almost entirely instrumental, and specifically rhythmical, so I wanted to challenge myself by writing for a completely different ensemble than I had in the past.
 
-    The text is from an old Gaelic hymn. When I first started working out ideas of how to set the text the idea of a rising line that encompasses an entire diatonic scale jumped out at me (that first passage can be heard at 1:47). From there, I decided that a closer knit group of voices would best be able to accomplish the smaller range of the piece which is why the piece eventually became for female voices.

-    The music of Ola Gjeilo, Morten Lauridsen, and Eric Whitacre played a key role in the composition because of their music being the first choral music I really bonded with. The idea of the close intervals and clusters was not inspired entirely by their music, however, and I definitely credit the first ideas I found for this piece to the opening material of Richard Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie.

     Toward Eternity was composed in the fall of 2015 and is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Dale Dykins, who taught at the University of Northern Colorado for over thirty years. The piece was premiered in November of 2015 at the Currier Inn in Greeley, CO by Jordan Ortman. This recording is from April of 2016, Jordan Ortman.
     
-    Toward Eternity is a journey through death. Inspired by Emily Dickinson's famous poem Because I could not stop for Death. The piece goes through the emotions of acceptance of death from the departed. From the fear of the unknown, to the nostalgic pull of past memories, finally to acceptance.
