Ruach is a Hebrew word literally meaning Air in Motion but representing the Holy Spirit. As a piece of music for wind instruments it really is Air in Motion, but it is also a four part musical representation of the gospel:
- Beginnings tells the story of creation from emptiness to life;
- Falling, the conversation in the Garden of Eden with each instrument being a character of the story;
- Liberty is a representation of the freedom found through relationship with the risen Jesus;
- Firefall depicts the coming of the Holy Spirit. Originally written as a quartet, here it is played by Platypus Clarinet Choir.
