Professor of Music Michael “Doc” Woods premiered a new composition in a concert at the University of Oklahoma School of Music on April 12. His work “Soul Space” was commissioned by the New Century Repertoire Ensemble for the program. Woods is a graduate of the doctoral program in music composition at the University of Oklahoma.

According to the program, his “soul space” is an imagined sonic world that he created for this new work. The piece, which is tonal in design, is principally about jazz based texture and articulation.
