The Spheres

This evocative work is a wind band version of the composers mass for choir and string orchestra entitled Sunrise. The piece is built around a five-note chorale theme, and the opening section features an overlappingfade-in/fade-out effectmeant to give a sense of floating in space, as if surrounded by stars and planets. A stunning composition from an exciting new voice in the band world – Ola Gjeilo. Dur: 5:20
