This is the main theme

compose music for the production.

become
a Chief Justice of Alberta Unfortunately, funding fell
through and the project was never completed. A sweeping stirring fully
orchestrated melody.
Through the Eyes
of a Child
Remember when you were a child and you saw something for the
first time, something that was really, really beautiful?
We are flying in a small plane a few hundred feet
above an endless, treeless landscape.
A large herd of animals migrating
as they had done for hundreds of thousands of years
stirs up
a large cloud of dust. The shadow of the plane startles an enormous
flock of birds resting in a marsh.
They take flight in a magnificent
rush of
wings
A duet with the cool, machine-like
precision of
techno-percussion, hard and driven, and the warm human expression of a
single clarinet.

or where they are going?
