Invention is an
exciting work for high
school or college
orchestra that features
an accented,
multi-metered main theme,
contrapuntal writing, a
fugue, a reflective
melodic interlude, and an
optional extended violin
cadenza. The title refers
to the process undertaken
by great inventors such
as Thomas Edison and
Leonardo Da Vinci. In
this work, the composer
reflects the many
emotions and processes an
inventor might experience
as he is working on his
creation: the spark of
inspiration, the
excitement of a new
project, trial and error,
frustration and anger,
intensity, and, at last,
success!
