Chasing Light...
for orchestra
Chasing Light … draws its spirit, energy and inspiration from the celebration of vibrant colours and light that penetrate the morning mist as it wafts through the trees in the high New England hills. Like a delicate dance, those images intersected with a brief original poem that helped fire my musical imagination. Joseph Schwantner

Description
Joseph Schwantner has been chosen as the composer for the second round of the Ford Made in America program, the nation’s largest cocommissioning consortium of orchestras, which provides regional orchestras the opportunity to perform seminal works by contemporary American composers.
Chasing Light … is based on and inspired by a poem written by Joseph Schwantner. Explaining his sources, Schwantner comments: ‘Chasing Light ... draws its spirit, energy and inspiration from the celebration of vibrant colours and light that penetrate the morning mist as it wafts through the trees in the high New England hills. Like a delicate dance, those images intersected with a brief original poem that helped fire my musical imagination’.
