    The Silent Enemy is a piece that was written to depict the events of the international pandemic that has affected all of humanity in one way or another. The somber opening foreshadows future events and as the piece unfolds a joyous melody represents an unsuspecting nation. Through many twists and turns the melody is embellished with phrases of familiar childhood melodies. The dissonant chords shout at the familiar melodies as the chaos of the pandemic erupts. After the chaos, there is peace knowing that things will get better and we will return to normal. Using melodies from the Doxology and Ode to Joy, the ending brings the listener what all of humanity requires:HOPE!
