This is a expressive, post-minimalist influenced composition, with flexible tempos and dynamics. Great for students who are interested in late 20th-century/early 21st-century classical music influenced by Philip Glass, John Adams, Michael Torke, and Ludovico Einaudi. The following poem serves as the program note for this work: The Emergence Stepping out that place of hidingAn infernal state of comfortWith smothering holds of safetyShielding from rays of lucidity. Stumbling forwardOne step pastThe formerly towering limit.A rush of adrenalineAn urge of retreatBut staying firmly plantedWith bristling folliclesAnd quickened breathing.Transformation is jarringShedding skin is tiringYet soon will exhilarateReleasing onwardLeaving old pathsAs distant dreamsPainted by the hazeOf the oncoming gleam.Performing Rights Organization: ASCAPComposer's website: https://www.nicholasyandell.com.
