Home Score Repository	Spin   2009
PDF Score	All of us have memories of spinning in various guises.  I remember as a child when I could stomach a good spin at the park, hardly able to walk afterward but joyful from the exhilaration.  On numerous occasions I have enjoyed spinning a coin on a table to see where its unpredictable path might lead.  If the spin of the coin is disrupted just right, it will come close to toppling and then regain its balance.  Finally, every Easter I find myself spinning eggs: the ones that spin nicely are hard cooked; the uncooked eggs wobble awkwardly for a moment or two and stop.  These small examples reflect something more cosmic: we experience the effects of spin in the rising and setting of the sun, the phases of the moon, the changing coordinates of the constellations.  In this work I attempt to capture the quirkiness and instability of the tiny spins in our life, those coins and eggs that, in their own way, are the universe.
