Program Notes: The Odyssey Suite was inspired by the brilliant and evocative orchestration of Holst’s The Planets and by the colorful imagery in Greek mythology. Each movement portrays different events that happen on Odysseus’s journey homeward. While each of the five (ultimately fourteen) movements can stand as separate works, taken together, the suite aims to bring the listener along to experience the journey with Odysseus. The individual program notes for each movement can be found in the description box below each video. This concert work won first prize for the large ensemble category (undergraduate) for the 2021 UCSB Dorothy and Sherrill C. Corwin Awards.
