Begun as a march which survives as movement two, my symphony for band was written in 1992 and 1995.

Movement one: Allegretto - 5.22 minutes
Movement two: March - 3 minutes
Movement three: Slow and steady- 6 minutes
Movement four: Continuously - 5.5 minutes

The first movement as close to minimalism as I ever want to get. I like this sort of cracked minimailist style very much. This movement can be played seperatly from the full symphony.

The second movement is a march with lots of tone clusters.

The Third movement features a Marimba ostanato and with any luck should leave the listener with the felling that they have traveled through a spectacular mountain range.

FINALE Written in the fall of 1995 is a simple work employing two different scales in F# and A. First of all the scales were superimposed over the over tones series in each key. Where no tone was available in the scale the adjacent tones were given in quarter notes.

The similarity between the two scales is represented by the second theme which is presented in groups of five. The second theme gradually comes sooner and sooner creating an excitement bringing us the logical conclusion.
