Written for Noel MacDuffie's dance theater piece, Soul Descending, this scene sees poor William mourned and laid to rest by his wife Abagail and the few remaining woman of the island community. Unseen by them (though sensed by Abagail), William…
This is a piece for organ I wrote for my brother's wedding on October 31st, 2004. Here is the original version worked out on a Kurzweil K2500, which sounds nice and full as compared to the live version played on the mighty organ at the West Point…
Well thanks, lam! And I welcome you to investigate and demonstrate what a face-paced version of The Unity might sound like. I've got the sheet music right here and if pressed I may be able to dig up a MIDI file.

Interesting idea, Norm! I too can't wait for "Vicissitudes" to debut on on Broadway. There should be lots of sing, dancing, and strangulation. Mike Nichols will direct. (He did Spamalot.) Sebastian Bach will star. The jump rope number will garner accolades from on high, winning the show a Tony for Choreography. Yeah, I cannot wait!
Meanwhile, send producer inquiries my way. :D
Written for Noel MacDuffie's dance theater piece, Soul Descending, this opening scene sees poor William, the last male inhabitant of tiny island community, lost at sea by a sudden storm and his broken body washed upon the shore.

Why thanks, w of acl! The music from Soul Descending is definitely something I'm terrifically proud of. In fact, I feel that way about the dance theater production as a whole. Sadly, it's also one of my many not-quite-completed works. It needs a bit more work to really be complete, but it is on my overflowing plate of projects to complete. In the meantime, enjoy what I've got! More to come, there's 8 scenes in all.
