The Fourth Horseman

A driving, high-energy piece, The Fourth Horseman imagines the rise of the iconic character
and his ride through the night. Based on a simple motif, the piece imagines a heroic attempt to
keep the horseman at bay. Percussion represents the rider throughout. The winds represent
the battle to thwart the Horseman’s mission. Moments of resolve, anxiety, and determination
bring this imaginative narrative to life. The piece is framed by 13 strikes of the chimes and ends
with the departure of the Horseman, unsuccessful in bringing forth the great conNlicts his
presence portends. The Fourth Horseman is an exciting piece for musicians and audiences
alike, sure to stoke the imagination of all.
