Breath (2017)

For Orchestra

Approximate Duration: 10’ 30”

-

First performed by the Brand New Orchestra, conducted by Tjeerd Barkmeijer, Thursday, January 31, 2018 at the Royal Northern College of Music, Concert Hall, Manchester, UK.

This piece explores the idea of music as a living, breathing life through spacial relationships with sound and the orchestra. The work opens with off-stage soloists that connect with on-stage soloists and orchestral sectionons.

This technique is used throughout to create a sense of sound moving from back to front, 

over and throughout the audience.  A sense of breath, wind and movement is felt physically and sonically.
