The Yellow Moon

When the moon appears orange or yellow, it simply means we are seeing it through more layers of the atmosphere. This lyrical composition set in the accessible key of concert B-flat uses multiple musical layers to create a musical impression of the moon's appearance. Gentle percussion and small dissonant moments offer the opportunity to learn rubato phrasing. Some tempo variations help create a mysterious mood and approachable instrumental ranges allow performers to focus on creating emotional moments with a beautiful performance.
