Commissioned to mark the occasion of the total solar eclipse in 2017, this cinematic selection was broadcast across the Pacific Northwest of the United States as millions experienced the totality of the solar eclipse. The eclipse is represented by the lyrical cello line as the choir gives voice to the words of Galileo Galilei: "Vedere il corpo della luna" - Behold the body of the moon! The bass drum represents the vastness of our solar system, and a lone vocal improvisation speaks to the personal experience of this magical moment. This piece beautifully captures the sense of awe in witnessing such a monumental occurrence.
