Description: Crescent Moon is by no means a traditional choral piece. My goals as a composer are to return to the roots of vocal music, and to create music that is for the people - music that can be easily understood and identified with, and that speaks to the heart and spirit rather than to the mind.
This is the first in what will eventually be a trio of songs dedicated to the moon. The text is original.
Crescent Moon was submitted (under a pseudonym) to the ROCS (RMIT Occasional Choral Society) composition competition and won second prize. It was premiered by ROCS on 7th September 2007.
