The Rainbow

I saw the lovely arch

Of Rainbow span the sky,

The gold sun burning

As the rain swept by.

In bright-ringed solitude

The showery foliage shone

One lovely moment,

And the Bow was gone.

-Walter de la Mare

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Two Steps Forward, Ones Step Back is a percussion ensemble piece for 6 players. This piece is about taking on an up and down journey with mental health. The piece is anecdotal, based on my own life story, but I believe this experience is universal; even once you reach a peak in life there's still another valley ahead. That's the idea behind the piece, and I hope that players and listeners alike will experience the eb and flow of that idea within the music.
