This composition is inspired by a children’s story “The Ocean Thief”, written by Jefferson Goolsby.
Premiered on July 4th, 2016 in Oregon Bach Festival Composers Symposium, The Thief tells the story of a young girl whose beach-written story is stolen by the ocean, and her seagoing adventures as she fights to get it back.
Written for flute, violin and Electronics, this recording is from the premiere concert, performed by Molly Barth (Flutist) and Bryce Caster (Violinist).
