    Groundbreaker (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra

    Stephen Chin, "I am always astounded with the power of earth moving equipment.  I am also so impressed with humans who in exploring new territory whether in the Sciences or Arts, break new ground. The arresting key of G minor, the strong themes and the incessant use of downbows suggests the driving force of these kinds of ground breakers."
