Genesis for Brass Band
Genesis - Brass Band Major Work
Genesis, by Dale Vail, is a major work for brass band based on the story of creation. The work is structured around the biblical story of the seven days of creation and combines this with the scientific theories of creation and evolution. Should one use the term 'day' as a metaphor for a period time, (thousands to billions of years), Vail has always been fascinated by the parallels between the book of Genesis, and our understanding of the known universe. The result is a very descriptive and provocative work that evokes the power and majesty of the creation process. The work uses leitmotifs to show the process of evolution, later combining motifs to create new images of the Earth's life.
