Between Glimpses of Blue by Ted King-Smith published on 2017-05-24T16:33:33Z For many years the incredible colors and shapes that the sky and clouds can create have fascinated me. Between Glimpses of Blue is a collage of memories and impressions of the different types of clouds while in the air and from the ground. Written for Wind Ensemble and Fixed Media; frequency/pitch, orchestration, and field recordings from planes, rain, and storms emulate characteristics of Cirrus, Cumulus, and Nimbocumulus clouds while also blending electronic and acoustic forces. Between Glimpses of Blue was commissioned in 2016 by a consortium of 15 university and high school wind ensembles headed by Danh Pham and the Washington State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble. It was premiered by Joe Parisi and the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory Wind Ensemble in April 2017, and are featured in this recording as well.
