Journey Toward the Eternal Forest is conceived as an evocative tone poem in one single movement and is scored for solo flute and oboe with string orchestra. The work is commissioned by and dedicated to the Boston Classical Orchestra and their music director, Steven Lipsitt in honor of the orchestra’s 35th anniversary season. Soloists for the premiere are Boston Symphony principals: Elizabeth Rowe, flute and John Ferrillio, oboe.
Journey Toward the Eternal Forest takes place over the course of one day from pre dawn to sunset. The work contains three main sections: Dawn, A Hike to the Mountaintop and Evening. By using this structure, I have “tipped my hat” to Joseph Haydn whose early symphonies Le matin, Le midi, and Le soir (no’s 6-8) inspired me as a young composer. In my piece I have encapsulated the spirit of these three symphonies into a single movement.
My deep love of nature, the mountains and the natural world is the main inspiration for writing Journey Toward the Eternal Forest. The idea came to me during a hike I took this spring in the Green Mountains of Vermont. After a long slow climb through the forest surrounded by amazing plants, flowers and trees filled with singing warblers, we finally reached the mountaintop with it’s breathtaking vista of the valley below. A month later my inspiration was once again renewed during a two-week visit to the Valdeblore region of the French Alps where the main part of the work was composed.
