WORK DESCRIPTION:
‘Nothing is as constant as change. All things are in perpetual flux, in becoming, their persistence is only appearance’ Heraclitus - Philosopher
As we move towards 2024, countries around the world continue to struggle with decades of conflict, economic turmoil and the devastating effects of climate change. Yes, the world is changing! This begs the question: what does a new world currently look like inside us? The ideas of a perfect world are as diverse as we humans ourselves. Our inner eye creates the world. It's the same with music. Experience a brilliant, energetic overture, full of different sound colours and let us simply listen to the echoes of our world, of a new world in the course of time.
Earthen Echoes Unveiled was commissioned by the Landesblasorchester Baden-Württemberg and its conductor Björn Bus on the occasion of the 20th International WASBE Conference 2024 in Gwangju-Gyeonggi, Korea.


The piece was awarded third place in the Winds Composition Contest Saxony in November 2024. WCCS Hall of Fame
