AWNING - a modern violin concerto

In three parts, the listener follows the ancient path of Elijah, as he confronts darkness both within and without, finally transcending it

Part I - VEIL

Increasing anxiety & terror with the electric violin, Elijah confronts Baal, the bloody god of human sacrifice. Similarly, we mask truth & worship the gods of ego

Part II - AWNING

Switching to the warmth of an acoustic violin, Elijah is depressed and suicidal in a cave, but then he hears a still, small voice whispering encouragement

Part III - ASCENT

Unifying parts I & II while quoting the melody from a classic hymn about enduring love, Elijah vanishes into a whirlwind of flame, transcending even death itself
