"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down." Ray Bradbury's pithy and audacious advice creates the backdrop for this sonic experience of jumping, falling, and flying. This unique piece gives Bradbury's text to the narrator only; the chorus parts are built entirely from the phonetic sounds of the word, "jump." An unforgettable depiction of one wild leap of faith! "J......juh......uh......um......p!"

Scorch was designed by the folks who built Sibelius notation software, as a simple way to allow Sibelius scores to become webpages. Despite its slightly ominous name, Scorch is free, is not excessively large (approx. 1 MB), and does not do anything demonic like put you on a mailing list or affect other computer programs. - E.A.
