(Intermezzo for Chamber Orchestra);

I am not sure why my 65 year old self decided to channel my 21 year old self in this arrangement other than to say that this was one of the most interesting abstract compositions I created as an undergraduate student in Composition at The Boston Conservatory. It was and is intended as a tone painting of goings on outer space, hence the cover which features my favorite picture taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
