Water On Mars

Inspired by the confirmation of water on the planet Mars, Sluder composed an uplifting, cinema-inspired melody and its accompaniment, giving the sense of orbiting the red planet in a rocket ship, while incorporating cascading notes like the droplets of a small waterfall. The violas lead the way, eventually passing the cascading line to other instruments, as every section plays a pivotal role in this piece. During the slower section, the soft sustained tones and rising violin line imitate weightlessness, floating in zero gravity, before returning to the original driving themes. Attention-grabbing, interwoven lines and surprise dynamic swells will keep your musicians engaged throughout your preparations.
