| dc.description.abstract | The inspiration behind the piece, “Emerald Night Sky” is the Northern Lights in Alaska. The piece is driven by two contrasting imageries. The first is the bombastic excitement one feels when encountering the intense, strongly luminous aurora for the first time. The second is the calmness and the static feature of the celestial, wondrous green lights in sky. The work is organized in an overall A-B-A form. The beginning A section is characterized by the fast busy 16ths in the strings punctuated with chords played by percussions, winds, and brass. The contrasting B section, marked in a slower tempo, features a static pedal tone on the pitch ‘A’ and ‘G#’ hovering around the ensemble. Lyrical solos in the bass clarinet and solo cello are featured in a conversational tone. The final A brings back the fast pace of the opening, leading to a high energy conclusion. | |
