Leap (chamber orchestra)
Leap was inspired by the photography of Rodney Smith; particularly the photo pictured here. (a man caught in mid-air as he jumps over a haystack). This composition reflects the dual nature of this image; being frozen in time yet obviously moving forward. The image also presents many other unanswered quirky questions such as, “What is this guy doing? Is he really leaping over haystacks? Why would he be out in the middle of a field dressed like that? Is he alone or are there a bunch of people in suspenders leaping around? These questions are also reflected musically through the quirks and oddities of this piece. The photo on the cover can be accessed online at rodneysmith.com, archive number MCI-0999-028-02. (used with permission)
