CGB1320 Aurora (5-7 Octaves)
Description
This amazing original composition by William Payn is inspired by the concept of light. The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are beautiful dancing waves of light seen through a dramatic process that transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that fascinates all who are lucky enough to witness it. This composition, with its unusual key signature and ever-growing dramatic moments of intensity, gives musical interpretation to an Aurora’s display of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.
