Reviews of Fast Through Dark Winds

"Careening is indeed a great word to describe the introduction of this piece. Exhibiting minimalist tendencies, this work layers swelling minor third ostinati with chromatic scalar sweeps that are passed through various instruments and tessituras. Worthington swirls these two ideas through the orchestra, dovetailing one statement with the next in the diminuendo of each swell. Her very subtle use of low percussion grounds the introduction in a quiet foreboding, barely audible under the activity of the winds and strings. The swirling introduction comes to a standstill in the form of sustained pitches that usher in a series of falling suspensions.”
– Dr. Anne Neikirk, IAWM Journal Volume 22, No. 2
