The Inspiration
Being a long time fan of the Battle Star Galactica science fiction series, inspired "Exodus of Kobol". According to Colonial scriptures Kobol was the birthplace and original home of humanity where humans lived with their gods, the Lords of Kobol. Due to over population, waste, natural disasters and an undetermined conflict, humans fled the planet and founded the twelve colonies. According to legend there was a thirteenth colony called Earth. All this ultimately an attempt at new beginnings.
The Music
The piece is essentially in ABA format. The opening melody, haunting in nature, is contrasted by a driving left hand accompaniment which leads into a melancholy B section of picturesque chords; a variation on a portion of the opening melody. The A section then returns dramatically in an unexpected harmonic change followed by an energetic but somewhat unearthly ending. Impressionism influences are obvious throughout the piece.
