Name: Triune - Movement 2 - Broken ballerina by RonG-Composer in Triune - Brass Quintet
Duration: 58 s
Description: This piece had a mind of its' own from the beginning - for some reason I could not get the picture of a ballerina with a broken leg out of my mind....so I finally gave in to the lopsided, stumbling rhythm with something slightly twisted....

Magic Valley

Interstellar was commissioned by the South Shore High School Concert Band, under the direction of Jodi Truchon. Before writing this piece, I wanted to involve the students in the creative process. Working with their teacher, the students came up with programmatic elements for the work and the musical direction I would take to write the piece. The result was a thrilling work for concert band reminiscent of the film from classic science fiction movies. Interstellar embodies the grandiose and romantic sounds of a space adventure, juxtaposed with the driving and angular sounds of danger.
