Genesis (2014)
For Organ and Narrator

Commissioned by Jamie Koffler

The Narrator reads the text of the Book of Genesis one day at a time and the Organ responds. This work is meant to be performed in a church, possibly for a church service. The theme of creation is heavily explored in this work. Rather than focusing on the religious implications of the Book of Genesis, I chose instead to treat it as a philosophical text about the meaning of life, and as a way to find the intention behind our creation. 

In six movements:

I. In The Beginning
II. Firmament in the Midst of the Waters
III. Earth
IV. Light
V. Every Living Creature that Moveth
VI. Man in Our Own Image

To be premiered soon by Jamie Koffler or Lee Kohler
