IRIDESSI 2023 | GRADE 4 | 6:00 KATAHJ COPLEY (b. 1998) Iridescence - a lustrous rainbow-like play of color caused by differential refraction of light waves that tends to change as the angle of view changes; a lustrous appearance Life is a luminous halo, an envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. Life is iridescent. <strong>Iridessi</strong> is an embodiment of life and light. The piece begins with a shimmering small light from the percussion instruments and grows into a luminous and vibrant dance of discovery. Throughout the work, different club-type beats in the winds and percussion are used to give <strong>Iridessi</strong> the life it needs. I wanted to display the different types of colors associated with light- from warm to harsh and pastel colors to saturated palettes. Finally, at the end of the piece, after this electric dance from the ensemble, the music evaporates into the air, leaving only the metallic instruments to fade away into the iridescent and invisible. PERFORMANCE NOTE: If possible, the piece should begin with antiphonal triangles randomly playing around the room. Allow ~10-15 seconds of the triangles to fill and slowly fade into the opening measures. The same should be done at the end of the piece, after the final note from the winds, slowly bring in the antiphonal triangles randomly. After the final notes from the percussionists, have the triangles fade out for ~10 seconds.
