Sky Curtains was composed in 1987. The composition draws its title from the polar Auroras - Borealis (Northern Lights) and Australis (Southern Lights) - which display ever-changing patterns of light and colour, sometimes muted, often spectacular. Just as Auroras' visual patterns come together, break apart, and reform in constant succession, so the sections of Sky Curtains provide an ever-changing display of musical colour and pattern. The work is scored for flute, clarinet, bassoon, viola, and cello in numerous combinations. The composer continually plays each set of colours against the others, invoking solo, blended, or unblended sonorities in moment-by-moment shifts. The 2 movements have a duration of 9:12 (Borealis) and 7:55 (Australis). Score and parts are included in the set.
