Program Notes:<br />
<strong>Eterna</strong> (2022) is a fast-paced, high-energy adventure into the vast and<br />
unknown universe above us. Opening with heavy dissonance and<br />
syncopation, the music weaves through motifs that lead to a heroic melody<br />
and eventual entropy of thematic material. As the piece reaches a critical<br />
point, a new, urgent tempo drives the previous material in a sprint to the<br />
finish.<br />
<strong>Eterna</strong> was commissioned by the 2022 Olathe East Wind Ensemble from<br />
Olathe, Kansas under the direction of Jeff Smikahl.<br />
