Program Notes:
A constellation of life thriving under the ever-bubbling water’s surface, its form unseen but its presence unmistakable in the rocky rainbow that descends deep underground, an iris of the Earth’s many watchful eyes.
This piece is inspired by the geothermal pools of Yellowstone National Park – in particular, Morning Glory. The music represents the many colors of the earth, the glimmer of the still water, the unseen bustling world of microscopic organism thriving on the heat, and the perpetuity of the pool.
