PERELANDRA

synthesized demo

PERELANDRA is a challenging early orchestral work by Steven Paxton, full of dissonant chord clusters and tone masses, intricate rhythms, and colorful orchestration. It features a virtuosic piccolo part. The title refers to a fantastical description of the planet Venus in C.S. Lewis’s 1943 science fiction novel, Perelandra.
