PROGRAM NOTE

Three Visions is inspired by several Japanese woodprints depicting large structures that are either temples or exude the ambience of a sacred temple. Iron Temple is based on the image of a large Japanese temple bell. The artwork is stark with the bell itself a mammoth-like iron temple. The second movement illustrates the image of a temple or pagoda covered snow. These prints are beautifully mysterious and self-reflective. The finale, Ignited Temple, is inspired by prints portraying warfare. These prints are dense, noisy, vibrant and violent with temples and landscapes set ablaze in ferocious violence and combat.
