Abstract
Myths consists of three movements for a moderately sized orchestra with a pitched percussion section including marimba, vibraphone, celesta, xylophone, chimes and orchestra bells. Part of its intent is to address the programming needs of regional and community orchestras while also taking into account the probable resources available to them. Engaging its audience on multiple levels, Myths contains references to traditional harmony and familiar musical devices while drawing on contemporary practices as well. Beyond its obvious features, additional layers of interest may be found in its structural elements. The title refers to stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses that relate to the musical events in each of the three movements.
