BACKGROUND
I have always been interested in learning about mythical creatures, one being Pegasus, the divine
winged stallion prevalent in Greek mythology. Its depiction, often white with large wings
attached to a graceful coat and powerful body and hoofs, has been engraved in my memory since
I first studied ancient Greek mythology.
The legend and mythology of Pegasus inspired the work Equus Alatus (Latin for “winged horse”).
The composition depicts the sensation of flying with Pegasus throughout the day, ascending and
descending through a limitless sky filled with clouds. At nighttime, the magical stallion
triumphantly transforms into a constellation of stars, forming a beautiful celestial image of its
immortality and awaiting its next rider as it takes them into the sky between the realms of the
earth and the divine.

NOTE
Originally composed for Brass and Percussion, Equus Alatus was later transcribed for wind band for
the 2024 Utah All State Wind Symphony, led by Dr. Anthony Mazzaferro, Emeritus Professor of
Music, Fullerton College.
The transcription maintains the integrity of the original brass and percussion version while
imagining the work for the expanded instrumentation of the wind band.
