Composed by Brian L. Monroe. 21st Century,Chamber,Instructional. 11 pages. BLM Music Publications (https://brianmonroemusic.com) #934989. Published by BLM Music Publications (https://brianmonroemusic.com) (A0.1350204).Gravitational Ripples are 'waves' in space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in 1916 in his general theory of relativity. Einstein's mathematics showed that massive accelerating objects (things like neutron stars or black holes orbiting each other) would disrupt space-time in such a way that 'waves' of undulating space-time would propagate in all directions away from the source. These cosmic ripples would travel at the speed of light, carrying with them information about their origins, as well as clues to the nature of gravity itself. This quintet for percussion ensemble works to convey the power & energetic nature of these ripples in space-time. Grade 3
