£57.00Moontowers
Written for intermediate-level bands, Moontowers intends to evoke a fantastical atmosphere containing huge mythical constructs - such as stone edifices - that rise from a lunar surface, softly illuminated by reflected light from another galactic source, while also allowing listeners to create their own, more specific visual interpretation. The piece also pays homage to the metal towers that once existed in cities through the U.S. intended to brighten the areas at times when there was insufficient natural moonlight. A perfect selection for those directors in search of a contemplative work to round out concert programs.
