Kami is a two-movement composition for chamber orchestra. It is scored for two flutes; two Bb clarinets; bassoon; two F horns; Bb trumpet; bass trombone; a percussion section consisting of two performers alternating on triangle, suspended cymbal, three toms (low, medium, high), two timpani, and xylophone; piano; harp; and strings. The movements are approximately five and six minutes in duration, respectively, with a total duration of approximately eleven minutes. The title, Kami, is taken from the Japanese word for "god," and is meant to convey a sense of otherworldliness. This piece is intended as a fantasy for chamber orchestra, merging eastern and western musical influences.
