about

So we built this city on jazz and classical, and while those are two genres I intend to continue contributing to, if there is anything about me as a composer you should know it is that I refuse to get comfortable with business as usual, stylistically. And of course, Zecora is best zebra. This had to be done.

The thing I love about Zecora is that within the show's premise she serves not as a satire but a celebration of other cultures, something the main characters learn only by suspending their own prejudices. Though we don't see that much of her character throughout the show, I find her's to be rather compelling. A stranger in a strange land, she is, and this is a point with which she spends much of the show's duration reconciling. Twilight Sparkle herself speaks of zebras only in terms of coming from a "far away land." Not to dramatize Zecora's character, but this sort of distance from one's homeland has got to yield a bit of melancholy. And so in thinking of her, I got to writing this piece: my reverent attempt to summon up images of this homeland of her past.

But because Zecora's story involves integration and not isolation, I sought to unify Western traditional instrumentation with the polyrhythmic pulsations idiomatic of African traditional music. It's not jazz, it's not classical, but I strongly hope you enjoy "Zecora -- Memories of my Homeland."
