Bassingthwaighte - Eclipse 2017 Jackson Hole for Chamber Ensemble - CM
"This piece is intended to recreate a particular experience of the 2017 solar eclipse musically. Before the eclipse, there is the quiet excitement of the upcoming event. Things feel a little unusual, the light is different, the animals sense something. Dogs barking, the birds are quiet. This is reflected in the music with ethereal sonorities and shifting rhythms. There is a sense of the familiar, but subtly different."
