A Sky Wrought in Darkness is a three-part percussion ensemble piece that depicts the emergence of a beautiful sky from the darkness of a storm. The first movement, Destined for the Air…, introduces most of the thematic material for the entire work and foreshadows the triumphant conclusion of the piece. The second movement, …Born into Darkness…, portrays the arrival of the storm and the darkness and aggression that accompany it. The final movement, …We Rise to the Sky, serves as the glorious finale to the piece, capturing the emergence from the storm into a bright day and featuring soaring melodies that evoke a sense of upliftment and wonder. A Sky Wrought in Darkness takes the listener on a powerful journey through the forces of nature and the resilience of the human spirit.
