Summary:

     Food and Music have always been my two most favorite things in the world. So, as my love for composing grew along-side my love for cooking (and the Food Network), I found myself wondering: What if John Williams scored a cooking show?

​

     As such, Marsala begins with four short movements (or vignettes), each one representing a main ingredient in the classic Italian dish Chicken Marsala, with each theme performed by a corresponding instrument(s): I. Garlic (English Horn), II. Wine (Strings), III. Chicken (Oboe), and IV. Mushrooms (Clarinet/Bass Clarinet). The fifth and final movement is the musical melding of all ingredients, themes, motives, and flavors, representing the process of cooking the meal from start to finish.
