Orchestral Works
11:11 - A Dance at the Edge of the World (2001) - for Orchestra. 11:11 is a single-movement, 16-minute piece for standard orchestra, which grew out of my persistently seeing the time 11:11 on digital clocks.
A Child's Garden of Dreams: Book II (1989) - for Large Orchestra. A four movement "symphony" based on dreams of a young girl as reported by Carl Jung in "Man and His Symbols".

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
