from the Clear Daylight till Dawn

performed by the String Orchestra at South High School, Minneapolis. This orchestra comprises players with a range of experience on their instruments. This work was composed as part of a project for the McKnight Visiting Composers fellowship.

String Meditation (2018), for string orchestra (all levels)

Scintillia consists of three huge scores made of bamboo, willow and wicker. One score is based on satellite photographs of a forest in South Dublin County; the other two scores are based on constellation positions and satellite orbits in the sky over Tallaght on 15 March 2007. In constructing the scores from bamboo and wicker, Verens was influenced by the stick charts of the Micronesian Marshall Islanders. The stick charts of the Marshallese are used as navigational aids for rowing canoes between islands, and notate ocean currents and swells rather than geographical formations. Verens writes “The stick charts fascinate me because they are a completely different way of thinking about mapping, being  concerned with patterns and flows or energy and how these flows are affected by objects that exist within them. This mapping methodology seemed perfectly suited to sound.” Similarly, Verens has often referred to Hesse’s The Glass Bead Game, noting “Music doesn’t merely have a shape but shapes the world.” In Scintillia, Verens plays a sort of glass bead game with space and sound, highlighting connections between constellations, geography, sound and energy, and promoting a very unique type of musical harmony. Performed by Jennifer Walshe.
