About
Commissioned by the Curtis Institute of Music to celebrate its centennial, A Bright Celebration captures the celebratory emotions by using major triads superimposing with other chords and bright timbre to create an exhilarating atmosphere. These bright chordal sections alternate with different sections that contrast the color and have lyrical lines that bring some peaceful moments.
