Deep-Sky Objects is a cycle of love songs set in the distant future, exploring intergalactic longing and desire. It is scored for soprano, piano quintet, and pre-recorded electronic sounds. When the piano quintet was in its heyday, the subject that permeated so many of the great Romantic song cycles was that of longing and lost love. Deep-Sky Objects transfers this trope to the outer reaches of the universe In the cycle a woman sings of her lover who is far away in a remote planet in some unspecified star system. At moments she remembers a time when they were together, but mostly she longs for him and stoically imagines that his presence, even so remote, gives her hope:I can live in the worldWith your love becauseI know you existat the end of the black universeThe electronics part often references various “sounds from space,” from pulsars (which are routinely converted into audio signals by astronomers), the signals of made-made satellites, actual audio of the Huygens probe landing on Saturn's moon, Titan, as well as many sounds suggestive of the eerie, remote and unfathomable reaches of deep space. Each of the ten songs is preceded by a short sample, or incipit, which creates micro-compositions based on the title of each song. The text is written specifically for Deep-Sky Objects, by Sarah Manguso.–Sebastian Currier.

Developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Hayabusa asteroid probe returned to earth on June 13, 2010, completing its mission as the first ever spacecraft to obtain surface samples from an asteroid. This fanfare was commissioned by the band of NEC Tamagawa, conducted by Ikuo Inagaki, to commemorate the success of the Hayabusa mission. At the premiere performance in Minato Ward, Tokyo, the piece was so successful the audience demanded it be performed again as an encore. Dur: 2:30 (Grade 4).
