Sky Darkens, Wind Rises, Nelson Gast (2014) 6'
for flute and piano
The title Sky Darkens, Wind Rises comes from a stage direction given in the Herman Melville novel Moby Dick. The line marks a final point of cheerfulness that gives way to a much darker foreshadowing. This piece imitates the same progression of light to dark that Melville created. Flurries of flute runs become a darker storm as the piece progresses, until the storm gives way to light once again.
