Abstract Details

2021, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Composition.
Tides Within explores the ebb and flow of ocean tides as a natural metaphor for the wash of thoughts and emotions that sweep over all of us. Beginning with a pensive woodwind introduction, the musical intensity rises and falls, gradually building to new heights with each wave. Driven by the inexorable pulse of the percussion, brass fanfares and melodies crest over swirling woodwinds, sweeping Tides Within to a tumultuous conclusion. A performance of Tides Within lasts approximately 21 minutes. It is composed in one continuous movement. Tides Within may be performed as a standalone work of concert music or with a simultaneous silent video projection which is intended to complement a live performance. The projection is comprised of abstract digital video art and divided into ten overlapping segments. Each segment can seamlessly transition from the preceding segment at any point, allowing the otherwise fixed video projection to adapt to shifts in tempo or navigational errors during a live performance. The projected video art was created by collaborating digital artist Jedidiah Knight, who worked in response to the composition with input from the composer. Tides Within was commissioned by the Wind Studies Department at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music for the CCM Wind Ensemble. It is dedicated to Dr. Terence G. Milligan, Professor Emeritus of Music, who conducted its premiere on April 24, 2019 at CCM.
