I’ve been fascinated by stars and galaxies as far back as I can remember. My youthful imagination was fed by a mixture of science fact and fiction: the early NASA program, "Lost in Space," my first good telescope, the Hayden Planetarium, "Star Trek," Arthur C. Clarke novels. To this day, I have a strong sense of connection to distant planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe - an ongoing spiritual experience.
Guide to the Winter Sky, for SATB adult voices and piano, looks upward to the stars while keeping its musical feet planted firmly on Planet Earth, and was designed to be performed preferably on an evening when there’s a layer of frost underfoot and a nip of winter chill in the air, a conception which allows for wonder and awe mixed with story-telling and humor.
