Cerulealina(2018)

for violin, cello, harp, 3 percussion and double bass
Duration: 8 minutes

Cerulealina is an imaginary world glowing with various shades of blue light. I chose this instrumentation because I felt it best captured the essence of this dreamy place, inspired by my favorite color, cerulean blue. Throughout the composition, the instruments intertwine and communicate with each other, creating a beautiful, sparkly and evocative landscape filled with energy. Each player has their own feature/solo throughout, which is influenced by my interests in writing pieces that feature jazz instrumentalists.

Cerulealina was written for Bellor’s second album and will be premiered September 24, 2018 on the UNLV Nextet concert.
