Syzygy Flow Katahj Copley

SYZYGY is the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies- the alignment of Sun, Moon and Earth- a flow of energy, a flow of color, a flow of everything. SYZYGY FLOW is a sonic illustration of the three bodies. The piece opens with a lively melody representing the balance of the Earth. From this melody the music traverses into a rhythmic and epic 3/4 motif- representing the flames and heat of the sun. Finally from the heat of the sun, the music is again taken a different place with the final addition is a lyrical, moving section representing the moon. With all of these motifs, themes, and colors, the reprise of the piece is a culmination of all three celestial bodies- creating an epic fusion of space, matter, meter, and color.
