Abstract

The World Wanderer is a suite of music, accompanied by narration, that depicts the story of a boy driven by an unknown force that leads him through multiple cultural dimensions. His journey gives him the perspective he needs to deal with his own challenges at home. All in all, the complete suite will celebrate these diverse worlds for their musical and cultural beauty, promote cultural curiosity, and investigate storytelling as a form of accompaniment to musical composition. The narrative seeks to highlight real world conflicts and problems through storytelling.
