Far Echo Variation
for orchestra

July 2025

score

Far Echo Variation takes its title from a painting by Ojibwe modernist George Morrison, where the artist depicts scenes of the horizon witnessed while looking at Lake Superior. My translation of Morrison’s approach to abstraction seeks similar ends in the sonic medium: a reduction of form to simple elements rendered in peculiar orchestrations to encourage the audience to apprehend the mysterious, spiritual aspects of listening itself.
