From Earth to Sky—John Edmondson.
A vivid portrayal that features themes based on a
descending bass line (earth), which is juxtaposed by
an ascending line above it (sky). The composer has
crafted the perfect balance among the lively, march-
like opening statement, the slower, lyrical middle
section, and the stately return of the original theme.
An excellent work!

methods, this simple and exciting piece is perfect

Of Gale Force Winds—Richard L. Saucedo.
Based around rhythmic figures that create a wind-like
effect, and combined with a playful melody, this piece
alternates between 6/8 and 9/8, staying rhythmically
dynamic throughout. A very brief moment of repose
hints at the period of calm that comes in the middle
or "eye" of bigger storms. The fury of the storm then
returns, with darker sonorities and increased energy, as
this descriptive work comes to an exciting conclusion.

Particles—Michael Sweeney. This unusual work
portrays the transformation of matter from solid to
liquid and ultimately to gas. A single musical theme
transforms throughout, starting with a very rigid and
dense opening statement (solid). The theme is then
treated in a lyrical style (liquid), and finally frantic and
energetic as the melodic particles transform into gas.
Using unique scoring techniques, a few aleatoric
sections and dramatic percussion effects, this
descriptive work will stir the imagination!

colorful and full as a clear starry night. Then, just as it
started, the sounds begin to fall off, gradually fading
out just as the stars before the approaching day.

dramatic work was inspired after witnessing the
