Pandora's Lament

This powerfully poignant work depicts Pandora unleashing all of life's miseries on the world. A bold and forceful opening gives way to a beautiful, haunting melody with lush and mournfully dissonant harmonies that gradually build to a climax of emotion and power. As the music ends, we are reminded of the hope that was also in the box. A meaningful and significant addition to concert band repertoire.
