Two Impressions of the Sky, for carillon Carillon - Digital Sheet Music

Two Impressions of the Sky

Two Impressions of the Sky presents contrasting movements, "Twilight" and "Storm." With cascading seventh chords and a hymn-like melody, "Twilight" reflects a peaceful evening as the last sunlight fades into a star-studded night sky. "Storm" opens with swirling fourths and a dramatic melody in the bass. The whirling winds of the trebles are frequently broken by musical thunder in the bass and an ascending lightning motif-the storm lulls and surges, reaching a rapid and dramatic finale. Scott R.
