This work was
written for the Canadian
euphonium player Carina
Lam. The piece is set
outside of the earth's
atmosphere, in space. It
explores the idea of a
person being completely
detached from anything (
Set Adrift ) and having
no human contact. There
are three sections in
this piece, each with
their own emotional
ranges. The opening
section has a feeling of
loneliness, while the
middle section has a
feeling of enjoyment,
tangled with cries for
help with the
introduction of the
S.O.S. rhythm. In the
final section we return
to a feeling of
loneliness, which turns
to despair as the piece
fades out into the dark,
unending universe.
