"The Book of Urizen," is focused on the character of Urizen, a mythological figure who features prominently in William Blake’s “Europe a Prophecy.” In the Blake universe, Urizen represents the first living entity. He is intensely destructive, yet simultaneously “the embodiment of conventional reason and law." The piece explores this multifaceted character and his story through a complex, wordless setting of passages from Blake’s poem. Jeffery Kyle Hutchins, alto saxophone Nanyi Neil Qiang, piano
