In Atlas Rising, composer Carl Strommen derives inspiration from the statue of Titan Atlas lifting the universe on his shoulders. Unlike Sisyphus (of perpetual rolling stone fame) the monumental effort of Atlas was successful. This piece takes this idea and models it into an exceptional piece for contest/festival performance.
Atlas Rising was commissioned by WorldStrides OnStage and is dedicated to the thousands of directors who have traveled to a WorldStrides event over the past thirty-five years . WorldStrides OnStage offers performance experiences that fuel the passion of performing artists of all ages with breathtaking productions, prestigious events and premier venues . They provide performance opportunities all over the world where debuts are made, mentors are met, co-stars become lifelong friends and inspirations build bright futures .Directly across the street from St . Patricks Cathedral on 5th avenue and in front of Rockefeller Center in NYC, is the Lee Lawrie sculpture of Atlas holding up the heavens . Titles are always a problem - so after listening to a few playbacks, this very imposing statue of the Titan Atlas lifting the Universe on his shoulders came to mind - starting slowly with the low brass, “Rising” moves steadily with determination and intensity to a powerful and “muscular” conclusion . Unlike Sisyphus (of perpetual rolling stone fame) the monumental effort of Atlas was successful . As with all performing pieces, attention to dynamics and articulation are critical - In “Atlas Rising” - the conductor has many opportunities to interpretive discretion, particularly in the opening slower sections and after measure 109 on to the conclusion .

Legends of the phoenix are found in stories from ancient Egypt and Greece. While each culture possesses a range of stories encompassing the myth, these tales tend toward similar traits: a sacred bird with brilliantly colored plumage and melodious call lives for typically 500 years, then dies in a nest of embers, only to be reborn among the flames. Phoenix Rising consists of two movements: I. Dying in Embers represents an old phoenix settling on top of a pile of embers and breathing its last breath; II. Reborn in Flames depicts the newly-born phoenix getting its first taste of flight.

While each culture possesses a range of stories encompassing the phoenix myth, these tales tend to share similar traits: a sacred bird with brilliantly colored plumage and melodious call lives for typically five hundred years; then the bird dies in a nest of embers, only to be reborn among the flames.In Egyptian stories, the phoenix gathers scented wood and spices for its funeral/rebirth pyre, then collects the ashes from its earlier incarnation and flies them to the temple of the sun in Heliopolis to offer as a tribute to the sun god.In Greek myths, the phoenix was approximately the size of an eagle and was adorned with red and gold feathers; it would fly from either India or Arabia to Heliopolis to give its offering. The bird’s association with immortality and resurrection are particularly intriguing aspects of these tales, giving numerous writers (including William Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling) a rich resource for their own stories.Phoenix Rising consists of two movements. I. Dying in embers represents an old phoenixwho is settling on top of a pile of embers and breathing its last breath. II. Reborn in flames depicts the newly-born phoenix getting its first taste of flight.Phoenix Rising was commissioned by saxophonist Christopher Creviston, who has recorded the work on the Blue Griffin label. The composer has also made editions of the work for flute and for clarinet (also available from Theodore Presser Company).
