Stone and Light
Combines original music with themes from Bach and Palestrina, evoking the creation of a cathedral over 3 distinct movements.
- Iron and Stone - begins with a brass chorale performing Palestrina's Kyrie from Missa Papae Marcelli, followed by a massive climax, mixing excitement and gravitas. The energetic opener includes chant-like low brass melodies, woodwind and upper brass flourishes, and energetic punctuations from the full ensemble.
- Light - an original piece based on the first phrase of a Bach chorale (commonly associated with the hymn "Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light"), features a soprano sax solo, but could fit any woodwind.
- Majesty - as all the disparate pieces of the cathedral come together, this movement features a long, dynamic build to the finale, featuring original music.
Prime Series
