Of Distant Worlds

Fantasia for Piano and Orchestra

Lush orchestral textures and glittery piano writing outline a fantastical space expedition, from exotic planets to distant nebulae to heroic leaps through space at lightspeed. The piano supports the orchestral textures, filled with rich melodies that altogether form vivid imagery of distant planets and exotic landscapes.
