Violin I<br />

Duration: 1.5 minutes<br />
Program Notes:<br />
“Sygyzy” is a term used in astrology to describe interesting configurations of three or more<br />
celestial bodies, such as the sun, earth, and moon. My piece begins with every instrument<br />
playing the same melody together, as if they’re planets in alignment. Afterward, the<br />
orchestra is divided into three groups and their entrances on this same melody are<br />
staggered. (The fancy musical term for this sort of writing is a “canon”—think Row, Row,<br />
Row Your Boat.) By both aligning and staggering the melody in various ways, I hope to<br />
represent different formations that celestial bodies can create while in orbit, from perfect<br />
eclipses to zigzag-like formations.<br />
<strong>Syzygy</strong> is one sixth of a group commission with the Blue Dot Collective for the Center Grove<br />
Middle School Central Instrumental Music Program, Ashley Carney and Samuel Fritz,<br />
