Black
light is defined as
infrared or ultraviolet
light which is invisible
to the naked eye. The
idea of an entire spectra
existing out of the range
of human perception was a
large influencing factor
for George Sweet in the
composition of this
piece. Richly scored
for the modern concert
band, Black Light is
written in a
post-minimalist style and
is also heavily
influenced by the work of
American composers Steve
Reich, John Adams, and
Philip Glass. Black

with strict motor
accompaniment. Take care
to maintain equal balance
among the different
“moving
parts†so that they
blend to create a solid
whole both here and
throughout the piece. The
primary thematic material
is stated by the trumpets
and horns at m. 12. This
material is the basis for
much of the harmonic and
thematic material that
follows. A slightly
varied statement of the
main theme is presented
again at m. 26 with a
different type of motor
accompaniment. This leads
to a B-section at m. 44,
which is a bold
fanfare-like presentation
of the main material.
Another series of
variations on the main
theme begins at m. 50 and
incorporates many
different textural and
harmonic ideas in the
accompaniment. Once
again, be careful to not
let any one “moving
part†overwhelm
another and keep the
texture evenly balanced.
 A second, broader
presentation of the
B-section occurs at m. 90
and leads to a subdued
C-section at m. 100 with
new melodic material
presented in the trumpet.
A whimsical march-like
section pushes to the
return of the
introductory motor
material at m. 131. A
final heroic presentation
of the main thematic
material results in a
somewhat ambiguous coda,
which brings the piece to
a dramatic
conclusion.
