I wrote up a bit on the piece I’m writing for Cadillac Moon Ensemble’s new blog. Head over there to check it out and keep checking in over the next two weeks to read about the collaboration between CME and the other composers in Circles and Lines! Here’s an excerpt from the post:
Canis Major for Cadillac Moon Ensemble
Canis Major is a piece for Flute, Violin, Cello and Percussion that I am writing for the wonderful people in Cadillac Moon Ensemble. The work is based around different astronomical bodies that partly make up the constellation that gives the piece its title. It is made up of five movements, three primary ‘location’ movements which represent the main bulk of the work, and two ‘traveling’ movements, based around slower than light and faster than light travel.The titles of each movement are:
• I. Wolf-Rayet Star EZ CMa• a. STL: Wormhole• II. IC2177• b. FTL Quantum Tunnel• III. Sirius
