Other Information

This piece is an expanded and amended version of something which in 2001 came out of an early stage in the writing of ´the Night Sea´ extended song cycle, where it was an instrumental interlude.  The final version stands alone as the kind of music which could be the background to a video on astronomy, or so the composer likes to think.  It is an arch form in 3 movements continuous.  Duration 12´.
