Meteora
Meteora
Orchestra 2(2+picc)222 - 433(3=btn)1 - timp, 3 perc - strings
Composer's Note:
Meteora was inspired by my travels in Greece, in particular a journey to the dramatic, precipitous rock formations of the same name, crowned with ancient monasteries. (In Greek the meaning of “Meteora” is “suspended in air”). A deeply revered site even in antiquity, the near perpendicular stone masses of Meteora rise from the valley floor to a great height and are streaked and eroded by centuries of wind and rain. In the deep and winding recesses forming the intervals between the lofty pinnacles, a thick foliage of trees gives shade and coloring. My first experience of the site was in the light and deep shadows of a blazing sunset. The majestic scene impressed me profoundly. The music of Meteora attempts to reflect that moving experience.
