McLearnon, G :: Aurora
Gareth McLearnon presents 'Aurora' for flute choir.
The composer writes about this piece, 'Written for a DOUBLE Premiere in two hemispheres within mere hours of each other - it was the planetary nature of this piece that inspired the name. The Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis are the things which are common to both antipodes so this seemed like the perfect chance to write another “space-age” piece!
'It begins with a “Jacob Collier Style Audience Choir” where the parts are given four figures which can be played at ANY dynamic, and in any order, decided upon by the conductor on the performance day. As a result there are (apparently) more than 4.3 QUADRILLION possible ways to begin this piece. After this soundscape intro we’re into groovy, commercial music territory, with a catchy tune, a cross-rhythmic riff, thick, satisfying, crunchy chords and a load of cool contemporary techniques to get the group energised! With a little call-back to the beginning right before we hit our satisfying, and crowd-pleasing end!'
