The Garden of Eden - Wind Ensemble
Grade 4
Parts to be sent separately.
Duration: 7’20”
Creation myths/origin stories provide an important framework for a large majority of the world's religions, both past and present. None is more wildly known than that of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. With Jews, Christians, and Muslims sharing the tradition of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, more than 4.4 billion people (over half the world's population) follow this tradition.
In this piece, I take an abstract view of the Garden of Eden; the ideal of an earthly paradise in which humanity can be free from want and destruction. I aim to embody these ideals by creating an deep sense of peace and unbridled love for nature that is contrasted with more energetic and harmonically venturous music that takes influence from non-classical music, representing the desire to stray from the path.
