Night Sky
Nancy Wertsch
Night Sky is a programmatic work meant to evoke the experience of gazing up at the heavens, catching glimpses of distant stars, galaxies and celestial events. The music is written like a series of different views of the sky achieved by peering through a telescope, focusing on one area and studying it for a while, then changing the trajectory and seeing something else. It is a musical tour of the night sky which culminates in a sense of awe and wonder at the immensity of creation, then subsides into a return to the opening moments of quiet contemplation in the darkness.
