Composed by Carson Cooman. This edition: pdf. Contemporary. Full Orchestra. 10 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3035629. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533656).
Orbital (2003) for orchestra was commissioned by New Music Tomorrow and is dedicated to composer Georges Lentz.
The work is a brief meditation, played throughout at a slow tempo and a generally quiet dynamic level. After an atmospheric introductory section which hints at the principal material, the work slowly traverses a grid of pitches and intervallic structures -- each instrumental group orbiting at its own pace. The musical material is derived from a "colored" whole-tone scale (in its prime form: C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, B).
The poetic image was one of a distant planet, slowly orbiting -- amid the vast expansive void of outer space. It is a mystical and prayerful piece -- as if we are watching this orbit amidst the great expanse while contemplating existential questions.
Instrumentation 3 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in Bb 2 Bassoons 3 Horns in F 3 Trumpets in C Percussion (1 player: tubular bells) 3 Obbligato Violins (NOTE: The three violins may be discreetly amplified. They should be seated in a semi-circle directly in front of the conductor -- not in a "concerto" position.) Strings
