dc.description.abstract | Sunfall is a musical work for wind ensemble based on six short stories in a collection of the same name by author C.J. Cherryh. Each story takes place in a different major city on Earth, millions of years in the future, as the sun nears the end of its lifespan. These stories present larger-than-life portraits of the cities and beautiful, often tragic story arcs involving robust, three-dimensional characters. The symphonic work inspired by these stories captures their grandiosity and tragedy, as well as the archetypal features of the characters and the cities in which they live. Sunfall's six movements are: "The Only Death in the City (Paris)", "The Haunted Tower (London)", "Ice (Moscow)", "Highliner (New York)", "Nightgame (Rome)", and "The General (Peking)". The piece is approximately 24 minutes in duration. | en_US |
