Unfolding Horizons
for wind ensemble
(Duration: ca. 4 minutes)
Winner of Julie Giroux’s 2025 Call for Scores
Unfolding Horizons is a musical depiction of a journey around the state of Michigan, inspired by my years
spent there as an undergraduate at Michigan State University. The piece captures the sense of discovery I felt
while exploring Michigan’s diverse and striking landscapes—from rolling hills and quiet valleys to flowing
rivers, vibrant forests, and the vast, untamed shores of Lake Michigan.
As the music unfolds, listeners will hear everything from the calm stillness of a glassy lake to powerful surges
of waves crashing along the shore. Each section reveals a new “horizon,” a new perspective that builds upon
the last, mirroring my experiences at Michigan State and life’s continual journey of change, growth, and
renewal.
