Indiana Elegies

Indiana Elegies (9/15/14, revised 4/6/21) for orchestra [2 1+1 2 2, 2 2 2 0, timp, 2 perc, strings] – 13’30”. The composer writes, “I was not born in Indiana, nor have I ever lived there, but I have fond memories of visiting parts of southern Indiana as a teenager.  In Turkey Run State Park, I remember a beautiful trail in a creek bed that was often so narrow that one had to squeeze between rock faces.  I remember canoeing down Sugar Creek, a waterway so shallow that even its rapids provided a gentle trip over the water.  I also remember searching Brown County for its many covered bridges and investigating them in the summer heat.  Most of all, I remember those trips for both their rural and scenic beauty.”  Movement titles are Turkey Run Toccata, Sugar Creek Serenade and Brown County Boutade.
