Bradbury Symphony - mov. IV The Day it Rained Forever
Sept. 2019 (for full orchestra)
Based on Bradbury’s short story “The Day It Rained Forever”, which takes place in a ghost town hotel on a burning desert. Three old men await the January rains, having to live there for three decades with lack of passion for life. A musician comes to visit, who has set out in determination to find an audience who would truly appreciate her music. After the old men’s hospitality, the old woman repays them by playing music on her harp, bringing rain - the symbol for transformation and regeneration.
Orchestra finalist for the National Young Composers Challenge 2019.
