Yo I heard this piece when it was still in it's midi diapers

Hi! I was in the composer forum you did at Cal State LA. This piece is fantastic and has so many great things in it! The colors of the aurora borealis are portrayed so well in how you orchestrated this; I imagine each instrument being a certain color. I also really like how even during the slower and majestic melodies, you still create velocity and excitement with the constant sixteenth notes. I'm really looking forward to performing this tonight!

Marvelous.  Love the energy and wonderful colors you're creating.

There is something very moving about your music and it is immediately accessible which is a rare and impressive accomplishment!

This is great music (and lots of well done work)!

We are playing this great piece in our Wind Ensemble at Lamar University.

Aurora Borealis was inspired by the natural phenomenon that occurs in the northern latitudes.  In short, auroral events are caused by the collision of energetic, charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere.  Last year I spent most of my summer playing piano in a rock band aboard a cruise ship that traveled from Seattle, WA to Anchorage, AK and back several times.  During a geomagnetic event late one night, I was fortunate enough to see the Aurora in the distance while sailing from Juneau to Hoonah, AK.  The piece has three main figures: an ascending/descending tetrachord, a repeated eighth-note motive, and a melody (first heard in the clarinet).
