Throughout various performances of including one at Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz, in 2014, and by Esprit Orchestra in 2015, Norman has been tweaking the music with rewrites. He said he considers the piece now about 99 percent finished. Norman grew up in Modesto, where he developed a fascination with John score to that inspired him to pursue music composition.
