"milia pasuum" is a Latin term meaning "thousands of paces." This work was composed as a response or companion piece to J.S. Bach's Violin Partita No.3 in E major, BWV 1006. I composed this work less than a year after starting my new job teaching music at Columbia College. I got this job while still finishing my studies at UC Davis: even though Columbia is a 3 hour drive from Davis, it still felt thousands of miles away.
