PROGRAM NOTE
River of Time was commissioned by and written for my friend and trumpeter Neil Mueller, conductor Timothy Muffitt, and
the Lansing Symphony Orchestra. The wind ensemble version was premiered by Caleb Hudson and the University of Texas
Wind Ensemble, Jerry Junkin, director, at Carnegie Hall on June 2, 2024.
In the spring of 2023, I was studying conducting with my friend Kevin Noe when he used the phrase “river of time”
to describe the flow of music through time. I also happened to be reading two books that examined time from different
perspectives: Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations and Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time. Rovelli’s book explores the mysteries
of time through the lens of physics, woven together with poetry, philosophy, art, and history, while Meditations, although
not directly about time per se, certainly grapples with life’s ephemerality. I remember this passage from Meditations Book
Five jumping right off the page:
Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone—those that are now, and those to come. Existence flows
past us like a river: the “what” is in constant flux, the “why” has a thousand variations. Nothing is stable, not
even what’s right here. The infinity of past and future gapes before us—a chasm whose depths we cannot see…
(translation by Gregory Hays)
The “river of time” became the conceptual thread that pulled together the musical and philosophical ideas that I had not yet
been able to pull together into a coherent whole—it’s as if this piece became my own personal way of exploring, knowing,
and communicating these ideas.
The first movement is called Becoming. I imagine a kind of primordial clock from which time flows—swirling—
becoming an infinity of matter and moments. The second movement, Flowing, is a meditation on being part of the river of
time—being present. Imagine a beautiful moment that you simply don’t want to end. For me, I remember holding my infant
son, listening to his slow, relaxed breathing as he slept peacefully on my chest. I’m reminded of a poignant passage from
Matthew Zapruder’s Story of a Poem: “That night the boy slept all night on his father’s chest. It was the only time in his life
the father had felt his body was perfect, and not one time did he wish anything were different, or that he were elsewhere.” Of
course, moments like this are often also shaded with a tinge of melancholy, as thoughts slip toward the past or the future,
wondering whether a moment just like this might ever occur again. The third movement is called Crossing. Our perception
of time is often linear, but what if it was circular or it could be bent? What if we could exist outside of it? What if we could
traverse the river of time?
PERFORMANCE NOTE
Dynamics
A common gesture in this piece is a crescendo that swells sharply near the end of its duration, indicated by a flared
hairpin (see below). The shape of this crescendo should be dramatic, balanced, and, where appropriate, consistent
across sections and the ensemble. It is critical that the release is abrupt though still resonant (not an “articulated”
release) and that the duration of the note last until the (down)beat indicated.
Some hairpins also start or end at “niente” (nothing), indicated by a circle. The goal is to hide the attack/release,
fading from/into one textural element to another.
Crotale/Snare Drum Effect
Crotale/snare drum effect in Percussion (mvt. 3, m. 125): strike crotale aggressively with a hard mallet, then slowly
lower it onto the snares of an upside-down snare drum. Sympathetic vibrations in the drum will increase as the
crotale is lowered, culminating in a “zap” as the crotale makes contact with the snares.

Transposed Score
For my friend Neil Mueller and the Lansing Symphony Orchestra, Timothy Muftt, music director.
The wind ensemble version was premiered by Caleb Hudson and
the University of Texas Wind Ensemble, Jerry Junkin, director, at Carnegie Hall on June 2, 2024.
