22o
Distant
(for Flute, Clarinet, and Piano)
*one of 15 winners, Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame: Parhelion Trio*
This
short piece depicts the phenomenon known as a parhelion: a pair of
bright lights which occur 22 degrees on either side of the sun.
The tonal center of D represents the sun, surrounded by resonant,
shimmering textures and bright timbral shifts within the phantom suns
of A and G.
