Strat
oscape, by Swiss composer
Gauthier Dupertuis, is a
colorful and contrasting
work for wind orchestra,
depicting the view of our
earth as seen from the
stratosphere. This voyage
into the sky is pictural,
but also metaphorical, as
it is also about
distancing from our
world. The work is
divided into five
sections: I Ignition!, II
Broadness & The Big
Blue, III Stars Shining
from Down to Above, IV
Destructive Forces, V One
and Only Home Five
contrasting movements,
starting with Ignition in
which Gauthier Dupertuis
tries to musically convey
the majesty of our planet
seeing if from the
atmosphere, ending with
One and Only Hope, as the
title say, a message of
hope. In between three
movements that depict the
broadness of the
landscapes of our planet
(second movement), the
fragility of our earth at
night with only the stars
shining (third movement).
But also sheer reality in
the fourth movement when
the composer translates
into music the damage
caused toour planet by us
human beings.
Stratoscape: a fantastic
view of Planet Earth!
