FAST ~ Morgan Kelly Moss (for Electric Guitar, Strings, and Piano)

With influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Greta Van Fleet, FAST blurs the lines between genres and seeks to break the norms of their stereotypical styles. The quasi-minimalist music tells stories of water and its ever-changing properties. At the time of writing, thoughts of environmental change and activism completely enamored the composer. Water is the life source of all beings on this planet, so naturally the music pays homage to the surging, unabashed energy that this life-giving source owns-- the same energy which also lives within each one of us.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to share this piece, and so amazed by the performers that made this possible. This is the first time I have ever been a concert closer, and also the first time we received such a long applause... we bowed 4 separate times! This was a huge moment for me as a composer and as a conductor, and is the longest single-movement work I have ever conducted or composed. Thank you for watching. 💜
