How many times can you smash a burger before it turns into soup?

Nothing makes sense, but that's okay. Rest in these Magenta Pastures. You are safe here.

"Her mass of kisses breaks and sinks, // assailed in the door of the summer's wind."

The Morning is Full by Pablo Neruda.

This was composed for the Bedford Trio Composition Competition, with a cosmos-related theme. I turned to the traditional Gregorian chants of Mass XI called "Orbis Factor" which translates to "Maker of the World".

Using a three-note motif contained in two themes, I wanted to create this sense of frustrated determination of being unable to "break through" until the ending of the piece. 

In my imagination, the movement of these "points" and the feeling of rhythmic instability amid the cloudy atmosphere create the visual image of flickering moving lights that pierce through the fog.

In this music, the general inspires his troops to carry out his plan, barking orders and assigning crucial roles,
uplifting them with his menacing authority.
