Program Notes
Reginald Smith-Brindle was a British composer who was born on January 5th, 1917 and passed away on September 9th, 2003. He was a clarinet, saxophone, and guitar player as well as a composer. He did not pick up composition until later in his life, partly due to his parents pressuring him into studying architecture.
This piece is meant to give a sonic representation of Messier 45 which is known as the Orion nebula. The nebula is only 1,500 light-years away, making it the closest large star-forming region to Earth. Due to how much light this nebula puts off it is able to be viewed by the naked eye.
There are three main timbres used in this piece, membranes, woods, and metals. By utilizing different striking techniques for this piece, the performer is able to represent what the composer imagines this nebula to sound like.[1]
