Native Chicagoan Joe Clark is a composer and arranger of music in a wide variety of styles. His music has been performed by Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming and Phil Woods among many others. Commissioned in 2012 by V3NTO, the tarot card-inspired Major Arcana is an exploration of the interacting forces of human nature. The Emperor represents domination and unyielding power. The Hermit explores man's introspective self and the quest for knowledge. The Fool represents man's creative impulse, naivety and desire to explore. The word "fool" derives from the Latin word meaning "windbag", making brass the perfect medium for this work. V3NTO
