Program Note
Unquiet Waters is a three-movement musical depiction of the "waters of our mind". The is the second composition of mine that deals
with this idea and is inspired by a quote by Prasad Mahes.
"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's difficult to see.
When it's calm, everything becomes clear."
The movement titles are different states of the mind that we all deal with in some way.
fast, turbulent
still
disturbed
I often find it difficult to focus or to still my mind, being that life has become increasingly busier and more chaotic. The chaotic
moments in the music dirfit in and out of the calmness, as I search more and more for mental clarity and peace of mind.
- Kevin Day
The sonata version of Unquiet Waters was selected as the 2020 NASA Composition Competition Winner.
The work was later professionally recorded and released commercially by acclaimed saxophonist Nicki Roman.
This band orchestration of Unquiet Waters is dedicated to Nicki Roman, with admiration.
