Rome Under Water

Composed as a graduation requirement for the composition degree from Oberlin Conservatory. Performed once in 1991 by the students of the North Carolina Governor’s School West at Salem College, Charles Turner, conductor. The brief arc of the work is akin to Debussy’s “Sunken Cathedral,” giving the impression of a massive underwater city ascending above, and settling down again, but in a harmonic language joining Debussy to Alban Berg’s Three Pieces for Orchestra.
