Program notes:
Symphony No. 5 is a journey of exploration, inward: a journey starting at one’s unsure beginnings, optimistically progressing toward adolescence and early adult years (“the long path before me”), and advancing toward one’s life of maturation, when experience and wisdom act as an ever-present guide. Though I by no means claim that the maturing process is over, I endeavored in this symphony to mark the place in life where I stand now, where (for me) the greatest of all things is love.

I most sincerely thank director Bobby Francis and TCU for granting me the opportunity to go on this journey of exploration, encouraging me to “not hold back”; and for the efforts undertaken by all involved so that we might share it.
