Cloud Dance

from Blues and Ballads by Roger Aldridge

/

about

Cloud Dance was inspired by a day in which thick, low clouds driven by high winds seemed to perform a ballet. The music unfolds through shifting moods, textures, and movement. Except for a brief restatement of the opening phrases toward the end, the piece is largely through-composed and does not use a conventional compositional form. Cloud Dance is a fairly short piece and is meant to sound ephemeral -- like clouds that come into our vision and then are gone.

Cloud Dance was first performed by Keith Calmes on solo guitar in a 2011 concert at the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City.
