Description
SKU: A0.1317270
Composed by John Michael Pekowski. 21st Century,Classical,Thriller. 88 pages. John Michael Pekowski #905930. Published by John Michael Pekowski (A0.1317270).In July of 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft skimmed past Pluto revealing a dynamic landscape. Important new data was collected, helping to piece together the history of a world with a patchwork geology featuring towering mountains, flowing glaciers, and plains of ice. I was inspired by the spirit of exploration.
With this is mind, I arranged semi-symmetrical sets with varying densities into pitch topologies constrained by numerical relationships. These are juxtaposed next to each other, helping to suggest the patchwork geology of Pluto. As I was composing, I gave preference to fluidic voice-leading and dramatic exposition. I also had to end with a satisfying resolution because NASA’s mission has been such a success. In fact, New Horizons continues to explore objects in the outer solar system. The sound language seems to me to be an obvious hommage to Jerry Goldsmith, Korngold, and many other great composers.
