Leaguered in Fire, Lagooned in Gold, Rene Orth (2017) 10'
for brass quintet

Inspired by Edith Wharton’s “An Autumn Sunset,” Leagured in Fire, Lagooned in Gold is a brass quintet commissioned by and written for the women of Seraph Brass.  We were originally drawn to the poem due to the reference of a Valkyrie and an illustration of strength and feminism.  As I dug deeper into the poem, however, I was struck by the colorful and descriptive imagery of a sunset on a windy bay.  It feels as if two color palettes are at war with each other, and this is the idea that I was interested in exploring in this piece.
