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.
