Star Rising for organ, was commissioned by The American Guild of Organists. It will be premiered at the National Convention of the AGO in Philadelphia, PA (July 2002). The work is a metaphor for the season of Epiphany, the season of spiritual awakening, when Jesus rose into stardom from the darkness of obscurity. The music reflects an ever-increasing self-awareness of the infinite power surging within the soul, and that power’s potential to illuminate the world. |
