Bronze Veils is inspired by a series of paintings by the American painter Morris Louis. The paintings were created by layering soft tints on canvas so that the effect was that of gazing through, or not gazing through, several veils of color. That visual effect inspires the combination of instruments in my work. The layering of long decays from metallic percussion in combination with trombone should allow the listener to audibly penetrate several ‘veils’ of sound. Bronze Veils was composed for William McGlaughlin in 1979. -Libby Larsen
