Description
Deep Field Discovery is inspired by the discoveries made from the James Webb Space Telescope in the Summer of 2022. This piece takes the audience on a journey through the mystery of the unknown, through the depths of space, eventually arriving at the wonderful, awe-inspiring discovery of galaxies that were once only theorized about. This work is composed in an effort to bring a large percussion orchestra sound to a younger percussion ensemble.
