Three movements, 15:00 total. South Florida Classical Review called Setting Century "...ingeniously crafted. The score is an imaginative essay in orchestral rhythm and color. The initial section
Ticking is based on a brief, repeated figure in the violins, like the machinery of a clock. Gradually larger melodic threads emerge. The piano imitates bells over long string lines in
Tolling. As the winds and strings branch out to broader, more complex patterns, the overall effect is powerful. Dance-like themes give the entire orchestra a good workout in
Streaming. An extended episode for winds exploits the individual instruments’ timbres in striking fashion." ~ Lawrence Budmen.
