We live in a world of color. Many of us have a favorite, or two or three in combination, to which we cling because they seem to represent our personalities and affect. Composers have long known this, and have used it to their advantage throughout modern history. As they seek to infuse their music with a sense of richness of hue, the listener finds that each composer's take on color produces a unique palate, a distinct version. This is the idea of iridescence found in music - colors that change when we look at them from a new angle. Iridescent brings together five works, one world premiere among them, that harness these rich colors and shed light in different wavelengths for a sonic experience as varied as the spectrum of light itself.
