Composer’s Note: A high-energy Mandalorian-esque chase through trees on a foreign planetary body. The threat of the chase is high, but we get out of the dance safely, and are presented with the grandness of space, in its full heroism.
Dedicated to the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic, the talented musicians performing the premiere of this piece.
