state of mental white noise gradually
became the norm as I began tolearn how to
focus on the tasks appointed me.Mind Over

Orchestral Suite #1—Michael Barry.
The suite is a traditional work, combining
characteristically English (Pre-WWII) ideas
with elements of the split-tonic heard in the
concerto. The orchestration of the first two
movements also speaks with an inherently
English reservation and dignity to it. In the
final movement, the suite comes to a soft
apex as the oboe quotes the primary theme
of the first movement before being bustled
out by the strings and brass.

Sighting the Swallow—Bobby Ge. The
swallow is here a metaphor for constancy
during a prolonged period away from
home, travelling far and wide. It is a small,
common bird that makes its home on every
continent. Their ubiquity has made them
symbols of familiarity for cultures across
the globe. The piece begins inchoate and
sparkling as songful horns carry the main
idea. Gradually, the ensemble's swirling
harmonies contract into a tightening
spiral, flitting birdlike from key to key with
increasing energy. Finally, the roving
modulations stabilize, and the music,
content, quietly returns to roost in the
orchestra's highest register.

blown, exciting conclusion.
