SKU: A0.533656

Composed by Carson Cooman. Contemporary. Score and parts. 10 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3035629. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533656).

Orbital (2003) for orchestra was commissioned by New Music Tomorrow and is dedicated to
composer Georges Lentz.

The work is a brief meditation, played throughout at a slow tempo and a generally quiet
dynamic level. After an atmospheric introductory section which hints at the principal
material, the work slowly traverses a grid of pitches and intervallic structures -- each
instrumental group orbiting at its own pace. The musical material is derived from a "colored"
whole-tone scale (in its prime form: C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, B).

The poetic image was one of a distant planet, slowly orbiting -- amid the vast expansive void
of outer space. It is a mystical and prayerful piece -- as if we are watching this orbit amidst
the great expanse while contemplating existential questions.
