Description
Though I listed this under "Cinematic Soundtrack," it's not really, but there is no option for "Book Soundtrack," which is, I suppose, a category which doesn't exist because books don't normally have soundtracks.
In spite of that little hitch, I nonetheless, took it upon myself to write a musical companion piece for a book a friend of mine has coming out here soon. The book is Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story. My friend David co-wrote the book with astronaut Owen K. Garriott, which has got to be the coolest thing ever - writing a book with an astronaut. I am very proud and more than just a little envious of my friend's accomplishment and I wanted to express that in my own way, and, this is it.
This is a piece that, if it were played in the real world, would ideally be performed by a small wind ensemble. The style is very much like that of many pieces I played throughout high school and college. It's a simple theme presented by the French horn (of course) and repeated and expanded upon throughout. I wanted it to sound majestic and "space explorationy" without it sounding like a ripoff to a Star Trek TV series. I think I managed that.
This is the first piece of music I've posted, worked on or written in over three months. Hopefully, it will help me climb out of the musical, personal and emotional doldrums I've been in for a while and I can get back to making some music.
Thanks for listening.
