MusicWorks Grade 5
This remarkable and descriptive work opens and closes with members of the ensemble whispering to one another, creating a soft yet chaotic effect. The simple poem is by the composer: “Whispers move in colored flight, seekingsigns of nexttwilight, purple as the violets grow, warm but rich for all to know.” As the piece progresses, introduced by a solo piano, the listener is taken through a dynamic range of emotional tension and release beforethe quiet mood returns to close outthis uniquely effective composition. Dur: 5:15
Recorded by the Marshall University Wind Symphony – Steve Barnett, conductor
