<strong>SYZYGY</strong> FLOW<br />
2024 | GRADE 5 | 6:00<br />
KATAHJ COPLEY (b. 1998)<br />
<strong>SYZYGY</strong> is the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies- the alignment of Sun, Moon and<br />
Earth- a flow of energy, a flow of color, a flow of everything. <strong>SYZYGY</strong> FLOW is a sonic illustration of the three<br />
bodies. The piece opens with a lively melody representing the balance of the Earth. From this melody the<br />
music traverses into a rhythmic and epic 3/4 motif- representing the flames and heat of the sun. Finally from<br />
the heat of the sun, the music is again taken a different place with the final addition is a lyrical, moving section<br />
representing the moon. With all of these motifs, themes, and colors, the reprise of the piece is a culmination of<br />
all three celestial bodies- creating an epic fusion of space, matter, meter, and color.<br />
