To the outer moons – midi audio sketch
TO THE OUTER MOONS is a science fantasy thrill ride, built for fun. It leans a little bit to the quirky side – colorful, melodic and slightly off-center harmonically. The rhythm is a fast marching feel, and the themes are big, iconic and in-your-face. The center section (still under construction at this point) breaks down to a smaller instrumentationto take advantage of some of the more colorful aspects of the wind ensemble.
The piece is built and conceived as a level 4 work – suitable to the high school level. The instrumentation is on the smaller side with lots of doubling so that all parts will be covered.
Score sample (rough – work in progress, in the early stages)
