South Dakota Symphony Orchestra will premiere Wind Hymn by Robert Carl. A tone poem for orchestra, Wind Hymn is set in two movements played without pause. The first, “Aerial View“ evokes the view of a wind farm, as a series of wind turbines seen from a great enough distance that each one has a distinct character, parsed into the different string sections. The second, “Surface View", subdivides the strings so as to create a weaving micropolyphony, as though one is walking amidst the turbines.
