Eterna is a fast-paced, high-energy adventure into the vast and unknown universe above us. Opening with heavy dissonance and syncopation, the music weaves through motifs that lead to a heroic melody and eventual entropy of thematic material. As the piece reaches a critical point, a new, urgent tempo drives the previous material in a sprint to the finish.

Commissioned and premiered by the Olathe East Wind Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Jeff Smikahl
