COMPOSER’S NOTE:
In the Beginning for orchestra explores the excitement of new worlds forming, colliding, and shifting into place. Legato figures and florid gestures shift throughout the ensemble as soft woodwind and string features juxtapose stately brass and rambunctious percussion. -Brittany J. Green
