about.

John Kosch’s ornate work for organ and band is a surefire hit for any soloist! Acrobatic at points, reserved at others; Corrupted is a perfect opener for your program.

Corrupted is an original work for wind ensemble and organ. The piece follows a
protagonist over the course of their fall from grace. In the beginning, the character is hopeful for the future. The diatonic melody and familiar triadic harmonies represent the protagonist's contentment. However, the allure of power tempts the otherwise pure individual. "Power," in this case, is represented by tone rows, or sequences of 12 unique pitches. In the beginning of the piece, the protagonist is able to pursue power without becoming corrupt. Although the melodies by themselves are atonal, the underlying harmonies are still stable and bright. Nonetheless, it becomes clear
that the character is walking a thin line. The temptation is too much. The harmonies
become increasingly uneasy until they devolve into dissonance. Eventually, our
protagonist succumbs to the darkness. Most of the melodies and harmonies are
derived from variants of the same tone row -- this is to show that every "good"
person has a dark side. It is up to us to nurture our good traits so we, too, are not
CORRUPTED.
