2, for piano 4-hands, is the final version of a piece that percolated for 3 years.  The two movements (1. Memory; 2. In the Everpresent) reflect time as first “past” and then “present.”  “Memory” works its way from an aggressive atmosphere to one of nostalgia.  “In the Everpresent” offers a driving, contrapuntal texture from beginning to an abrupt ending.   The percolation of 2 included versions for trombones, brass ensemble, and horn ensemble.  This version was created for performance by John Jensen and Rick Yramategui.
