FINIS (fiˈnē) the end; conclusion. As the composer sits with paper and pen in search of the great ending the notes don’t always flow so easily. The right idea…the wrong timing…the modern twist to the familiar melody: so many potions to choose from…the right mixture of this and that. To many schizophrenic, yet to the composer, the conductor, the performers…pure inspiration from the modern Muse.
