Boundless mysteries lie at the center of the universe. As the music travels from one end to the other, the vast spectacles of matter and light are described by low melodies and twinkling harmonies with the great eye at the center, peering at the vastness of space. Students will love these dramatic melodies and harmonies written to help the young ensemble sound advanced and mature. Straightforward rhythms support emerging ensemble skills, and all sections play melodic phrases, creating a vivid and commanding performance.Performance NotesWith Eye of the Universe, connect STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) curriculum with other departments in your school to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Suggested ideas include: Explore the nature of the universe and write about how the music in this piece describes the “eye.”   Illustrate the center of the universe (the eye) using traditional or computer art mediums. Research the measurements of the known universe and calculate how long light from the center of the universe takes to reach Earth. Using the distance across the universe in light years, calculate how many light years each measure, each beat, and each eighth note represents.Eye of the Universe provides the opportunity to reinforce: Matching articulations within and across sections Exaggerating dynamic contrasts Understanding balance issues.
