Aurora Eclipsed was inspired by the solar eclipse of 2017.  During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire” is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. An aggressive composition younger students will enjoy playing over and over again.
I wrote Aurora Eclipsed while looking outside at 2017’s solar eclipse. I find space and celestial bodies so fascinating. To think of how small we are compared to the scale of even just the moon is impressive.During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire” is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. About the work:Unlike most of my young-band pieces, Aurora Eclipsed begins at its peak tempo. The rhythmic pattern in m. 2 is repeated throughout the piece and is used in the melody in order to help facilitate the teaching of eighth-note patterns. The melodic pattern changes slightly at m. 25, while remaining just as repetitious as the previous pattern, giving everyone ample opportunity for exposure. At m. 25 the directions call for euphonium and bassoon only. This is merely a color choice and can easily be used with trombones to fill the need or to help strengthen your students' playing. The use of sfz is not used very much in this level of music, but I thought with the addition of the accents that it would be a great opportunity to teach this colorful effect.

Eclipse is an easy-to-learn rock-style tune that will energize your orchestra and introduce them to improvisation in a fun setting! With a flexible score including optional Violin II, Piano, and Drum Set, your students can achieve a big, impressive sound. All sections get a chance to shine and optional glissandi will move your students out of first position, if they are ready. The improv section includes a notated solo option in every part, while the rest of the orchestra vamps in the background. This section can be repeated as many times as needed, and students have the opportunity to improv their own solo. A confidence-building showstopper!The marked glissandi are optional and may be omitted, used as a simple slight change in pitch, or performed as a full glissando with shifting, depending on student ability. In addition, teachers may want to add slurs between distinct notes with a glissando between the two. The bow stroke for this piece is a heavy marcato - most successful in the lower part of the bow. Students are encouraged to experiment with improvised solos using notes from the opening measure.

This Baroque-style setting of the quintessential Christmas text may present a bit of a challenge to some keyboardists, but the spirit of the piece is well worth the effort! Rather than eclipse the traditional pairing of ANTIOCH and “Joy to the World,” both versions could be used in the same worship service.
