My next project involves writing the first movement of my piano concerto in E-minor which will be called the Concerto of Deliverance. The title and the program of this piece comes directly from two sources. The first source is the literary allusion to Ayn Rand's masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged. The novel is set in the not-too-distant future where the men and women who think and act with integrity are going on strike against a world that's designed to destroy any form of greatness. One of the strikers is a composer named Richard Halley, who writes a piano concerto of the same name in dedication to the leader of the strike for setting men free of the evil morality of altruism that has plagued mankind from the beginning.

The second source comes from my own personal moral awakening. Much of how I live influences how I write. Over the last five years my own personal life has had many ups and downs from my own struggle to live to my fullest potential. Everything in this work is a reflection of different aspects of that struggle. The first movement shows anger, passion, and indignation. The second shows anguish, turmoil, and despair. The third movement is complete exaltation and happiness.
