Program Notes

“As the Wave Crests” is a musical depiction of the cyclical nature of energy that exists in the world. This is visualized through a natural source, the wave. At its crest, a wave holds its most power, yet it quickly releases all of that energy into the world, and crashes back down to its trough. Then the wave begins again, attempting to always climb back towards the power it holds at its crest.
