Each piece in the 13 Moons set provides the director and their students with a set of pitch material based in a particular key, including scales, melody, counter-melody, accompaniment, ostinato etc.. Over a series of rehearsals, the students not only learn how to play the material, they compose with the elements of structure, timbre, texture and expression to create their very own, original piece of music.
13 Moons North was commissioned by the University of British Columbia Conducting Symposium Consortium, Symposium hosted by Dr. Robert Taylor, consortium led by Janet Wade.
