“Between Shades” is a musical composition for orchestra with an approximate duration of 8 minutes. The instrumentation for the piece is 3 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 clarinets in B-flat, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, bass trombone, tuba, timpani, 2 percussionists, harp, and strings. Inspired by photographer Jurek Wajdowicz’s “Liminal Spaces” series, “Between Shades” employs a number of composition and orchestration techniques intended to suggest and parallel the haziness and visual shifts in color found in Wajdowicz’s photography series. The primary composition techniques that unify the work include ambiguity in tonal center and overlapping and blending of orchestral textures.
