about

lunaris (/lu:'na:.ris/)
latin: from lūna ("moon") +āris
adj. – of or pertaining to the moon, lunar

i conceived of lunaris in october of last year. originally it was going to be in thirty movements, one for each corresponding day of the lunar month. i hoped to emulate the gradual and continuous shift in the phase of the moon, and its subtle yet palpable effect on our lives on earth. as such, the music is based in short repeating structures that gradually grow and shift and change over time, while always remaining firmly rooted in the same musical material. as the music materialized, it happened to fit organically into a structure of eight movements rather than the original thirty that i had planned, so i decided to leave it at that, and instead opted to add an improvisational final movement (a cadenza of sorts, if you will) that incorporates the various musical materials and brings the piece to a satisfying close.
