This exciting new
work is based on the griffin, a mythological creature native to
India, having the head, legs, and wings of an eagle, and the body of
a lion. Starting with open 5ths in the clarinets, slight elements of
Indian music are introduced as the work builds to its opening theme.
A powerful middle section combines elements of chamber playing and
full ensemble. The closing section represents the actual flight of
the griffin, bringing the whole piece to a dramatic ending. Strongly
consider this highly energetic composition!
