This piece was one of the pieces written for the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. It wasn't the original piece to be played for that concert, so when I decided to change it had to be completed very quickly; I wrote this piece in 5 days. It's inspired by the otherworldliness of the International World's Fair in Paris of 1867; the first movement, "Ballet" contrasts the second "Le festival sauvage" in the initial discovery of the new world, versus the wild fun to be had, and the return home. It has its problems as a result of its quick deadline, but I think it's one of the most programmatic and passionate things I've written.

With this I tried to tell a story about a Duke that belongs to royalty who is very delusional and twisted. I tried to do something I don't normally do with instrumentation and I attempted to go for the film score level...

Okay, this is my first serious composition. It's for a short jet flyby scene above a mountain at sunset for a videogame Listen with earphones or high-end speakers for best listening

Have to agree with Monarcheon, I feel that the way you delay the ending from 2:10 onwards sounds a bit odd. All in all though the piece was very good. I really liked the entrance of the percussion in particular, very bold and epic.
