First Symphony: The New World is Gone
for narrator, soloists, and scratch orchestra
work in-progress

A variable, large ensemble work that thematizes disappearance, apocalypse, abstraction, and prophecy. The work lasts several hours and is organized in seven sections with an extended poem connecting the work, spoken by the narrator.

“In our wakeful hours there are flowers which produce nightmares
We burned continents of silence the future of nations”
-Etel Adnan, from “The Arab Apocalypse”
