ORIGIN was commissioned by Dr. Jeff Reynolds for the University of Toronto Wind Ensemble.
As an alumna of the school and a former student of Dr. Reynolds, it was an honour to compose
this short fanfare to open the 2022-23 concert season at UofT. Origin is an uplifting,
empowering piece that evokes the feeling of returning home to a signicant place in one’s
journey, reecting on all that has changed and all that has remained. I have come to cherish the
magical full-circle experiences that occur when my music is performed in spaces that were
meaningful or inspiring to me as a young musician. This piece is an ode to all the people and
places that leave a lasting impact on the lives of others.
