Project title
Augurios for Ensemble, Scenes from Faust for Symphonic Wind Ensemble
Project description
I plan to work on two projects. The first piece is to be a joint commission for the Paris-based Aleph Ensemble and the Holland-based Ensemble Insomnio, which will premiere at the Gaudeamus Festival in Amsterdam with later performances scheduled for 2011 in Paris. The second project, a consortium commission for symphonic wind ensemble, will be a reflection on images from F. W. Murnauʼs 1926 silent film version of the Faust legend. In addition to the musical piece, I will be editing scenes from the film to screen during the performances. The piece will premiere at the National Conference of the College Band Directors National Association.
