Composed by Bruce Tippette. Duration 6:40. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.22190).

Solar Eclipse opens with a slow and soft introduction, presenting the melodic material that is present throughout the piece. A raucous percussion interlude transitions the piece into a faster tempo, along with more complex rhythmic material. The piece progresses through a series of different altered forms of the melody, along with moments of countermelodies. As the piece nears the climactic moment, an accelerando helps to push the music into a Grand Pause, exemplifying the moment in which the moon completely eclipses the sun. The conclusion of this process in nature is reflected by the piece's ending as it slowly fades into nothing.
