Written in 1997, my second composition was an experiment in story-telling. tigerTiger is the portrayal of the life of a tiger cub from birth to adulthood. It's a journey from the beginning to the time in which all of us realize that we have arrived. I set the piece in the vast jungle amidst the tribal calling of the drums. Each step of the tiger's life marks an difference in feel and speed. A change to 6/8 time reveals the chase the now grown tiger ensues toward it's prey, until its capture and the tiger's arrival into it's own world.
This adaptation arranged in 2001, with the drum line writting by Mark Roddy, is an AIA SIlver Medal winning piece at the 2002 Championships in Fairfax, VA.
