tHE fALL OF THE MORNING STAR

---

"You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you." Ezekiel 28:15-18

The Fall of the Morning Star is an orchestral piece written about the story of Lucifer being cast out from Heaven. I found the story to be rather sad: a son cast out from his home by his father. A youth rejected by their family. In this piece, originally written for a solo Celtic harp, I wanted to explore the idea of the hurt, heartbeat, and betrayal the Morning Star felt as he fell down to Earth. The piece is built on tri-tones, which has a history of being considered the 'devils chord' in old music theory. 

The piece has two versions. One for an orchestral ensemble, and one for Celtic Harp

Strings, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Crotales, Glockenspiel, and Harp
