David Leisner
About this work:
Commissioned by the Jesuit-run Fairfield University for its 50th anniversary, this chromatically tonal 4-movement work begins with a brief fugue called "Prayer", which provides the thematic basis for the three other movements - a fanfare, an innocent pastorale and the tempestuous finale, all of which evoke aspects of the Divine Being.
