"A Winter's Poem"
invokes images of an icy, crystalline winter landscape, depicting subtle motions and changes beneath a seemingly static surface. Like winter itself, it builds power glacially, from the glint of ice, flurries, and wind, to great expanses of white earth and sky. The work is subtitled "Palindromes" for the extensive use of palindromic and retrograde passages, in individual phrases, and in the larger form of the work.
This piece was originally recorded in September 2004 by ERM Media for their anthology "Masterworks of the New Era Vol. 1" I have since revised the score.
This revised version of "A Winter's Poem" received its first public performance on April 12st, 2007, in Lincoln, Nebraska, by the UNL Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Tyler White.
