Clouds of Light takes the audience on a cosmic odyssey inspired by the mesmerizing light that decorates the night sky, created by our view of the Milky Way Galaxy. Infused with elements reminiscent of a cinematic soundtrack, this piece provides a sonic metaphor for the cosmic dance of the universe. It is brought to life through intriguing percussion effects and grooves, woodwind ‘cloud’ textures, and thrilling rhythmic moments which bring a sense of weightlessness and adventure that pervades through the soundscape. These moments allow the listener to ascend into the luminous clouds and embark on an exciting journey, ultimately returning to Earth transformed.

This piece is dedicated to my long time mentor and friend, John Carroll. It was written for and premiered by him at the TMEA Region 1 All-Region Band concert in January of 2023.

Printed scores will be available for purchase soon.
