I Sit Alone in Martin’s Church

Composers:
  • Duffy, Thomas C
Detailed Instrumentation: Concert Band
Duration: 13
Description:

The question is: Who is Martin? The immediate candidates are Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr. Both represent religious heritages born from the energies of protest and oppression. These concepts support the program of this composition – someone sits alone in Martin’s church. The echoes of past services float around, the glisten of light off and through stained glass reflects and flashes through the space, and the fundamental sounds of both traditions float from foreground to background. Solitude, reflection, hope, oppression, sadness, melancholy, and the incredible weight of history and tradition all become embodied in sound and echo through Martin’s church.
