Variations on Constellations
Jay Derderian
About this work:
A set of five variations on six constellations; Ursa Major (The Big Dipper), Cassiopeia, Orion's Belt, Cygnus, Cepheus, and Aries.
The piece undergoes notational, stylistic, and harmonic variations over the course of approximately ten minutes. The last variation is an endurance test with continual motion and soft dynamics.
