Original

Nocturne for Orchestra composed by Madelyn Byrne. For orchestra. Secular, 21st Century. Intermediate. Score. Published by Madelyn Byrne. S0.1095. "Nocturne for Orchestra began as a piece that would celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Galileo's telescope while using a musical language that would be in keeping with a program of American music. I thought that "The Unanswered Question" by Ives, and the emotional depth and poignancy of much of Copland's music, would be a perfect compliment to a tribute to Galileo. But then two friends passed away and the piece turned into a tribute to them, with the night sky and the "Unanswered Questions" that surround us creating a consoling environment for this effort. The songlike themes of Nocturne grow out of my journey from mourning the premature deaths of my friends to celebrating their rich and vibrant lives. Section A is the dreamlike introductory section, B is a transition to the song-like section, and C is where the songlike themes are stated outright. D is a development section, E is an interruption - returning to the dreamlike music, F merges the dream music with the thematic material, G is the expressive high point of the piece and is articulated by the violin and cello solos. The remaining sections are intended to convey freedom and celebration. This is followed by a brief coda. Digital Print is printable sheet music available anytime, anywhere.
