| Description |
Valley: Three Corners of Our Room is a three-movement musical work for chamber choir, solo instruments (trumpet and flute), and electronics. The overarching theme of the project incorporates issues of environmentalism, climate change, and sustainability, and each movement ("corner") seeks to bring awareness of a specific environmental issue that is currently present in the greater Salt Lake Valley area. The project includes collaborations with poet Matty Lane Glasgow, faculty at the University of Utah South Physics Campus Observatory (in the collection and sonification of light pollution data), and salinity and water level data collected from the U.S. Geological Survey. Ultimately, the goal of this project is to bring attention to and convey the growing issues of climate change, including light pollution, noise pollution, and the consequences of the shrinking Great Sale Lake, through the artistic medium of music composition. |
