- Program Notes
- Dancing Light is a rhythmic and shimmering composition for trombone quartet. The title refers to a magical spell in Dungeons and Dragons used to create glowing orbs that illuminate the darkness, inspiring the combination of bouncy movement and bright harmonies found in the piece. Though a rhythmic groove is at the heart of the musical material, a cluster motif lights up the introduction of the piece and returns throughout to shed light on the path ahead. Dancing Light was written for the Blue Ridge Trombone Quartet and a consortium of 26 other quartets in 2023, acting as a companion to my other high fantasy-inspired work for trombone choir ‘Through the Vaulting Skies’.
