… some become stars …

(2013)

Eight Violas

Duration 4′

Originally written for piano as part of a set of two short pieces  … some become stars … also exists as a piece eight violas: versions for eight violoncellos and string orchestra also existi.

It is an evocation of the stillness of the night sky and the wonders of the stars above us, so often hidden in our increasingly urban landscape. The eight instruments playing together allows them to play and breathe as one voice in a music that seeks to calm the soul and provide respite.

Scores and parts are available upon request.
