| Program Notes | Symphony #1, “Prophecy” was inspired by verses taken from the Bible. The first movement describes the “fall of man” and His promise of redemption; the second movement – His plan for each of us; the third movement - His divine omnipotence; and finally, the fourth movement describes His place – a description of entering heaven and finding our final home with Him. The initial inspiration for writing this symphony was originally a commission (the fourth movement) to commemorate the life of Michael T. Hughes, a saxophone student at the University of Central Arkansas, killed in a car accident in his final year. The last movement represents the composer’s depiction of a loved one who has left this world and has suddenly entered this new world. He hears the rustle of Angels’ wings and the Middle Eastern modality of major/minor colors and moves towards the sound of percussion and brass fanfares. He quickly ascends the steps to his Father’s City - “His Place”. Upon reaching the Gates of Heaven, our loved one sees the “many mansions” laid out before him, and finally discovers “His Place”. |
