Breathe for Chamber ensemble

---

Breathe moves through the orchestra weaving streams of sound through the sections. The piece focuses on timbral changes, spectral harmonies, and textures changing over time. Inspiration provided images of wind blowing on rustling leaves, fishes and snakes winding through water reflecting light producing a scintillating display. The piece begins with one current of sound, multiples into two and three, and culminates in a cycle of inhalation, retention, and exhalation at the end. As for setup,
the ensemble should refer to the chart below for layout. Due to the organization of musical
gestures and spatialization of sound, player location is of the utmost importance.
