MUSIC SAMPLES

Mvt. 1: Joy! is a set of driving variations on the J.S. Bach theme of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," treated in a contemporary fashion and infused with an unexpected high level of energy, much unlike the serenity of the original.

Mvt. 2: Love and Hope is a lushly romantic ballad overflowing with surging waves of expressive beauty. Although this movement was not part of the repertoire of The Magic's program in 2006, it completes the musical thought of relating every element of the show to Bach's brilliant work.

Mvt. 3: Peace! euphorically ties all the prior themes together, once again referencing the Bach masterpiece and leaving us with a sense of optimism attuned to facing any challenges that might be thrown our way. This final piece highlights the theme of the entire show...that we have within our grasp the ability to turn the world into a happier and better place for all.
