Originally composed in 2018 as a much more expansive work, this substantially revised three-movement suite for orchestra is a tribute to the timeless qualities & memorable characters of the superhero genre, depicted across multiple generations of storytelling from the comic books to the silver screen. The opening “March of the Villains” is heavily militaristic in construct, powerful and intelligent in nature - its interlude features a fugue exclusively for the string section. The second movement, “Love and Friendship”, has a dual meaning - its tragedy represent moments where heroes may be unable to reveal their true identity to their loved ones & friends, while its earnest devotion & youthful optimism reveal all that these heroes do to protect those that they care about. The final movement, “A Theme for Heroes”, soars triumphantly and with great spirit, revelling in the adventures of the past as well as foreshadowing the journey to come.
