A Day in Space — Grade 2.5 - Score and Parts

Descriptive and adventuresome, James Curnow's A Day in Space is the perfect performance piece for the modern age. The inspiring opening brings the excitement of a momentous event to your concert stage. The thrilling lift-off carries the listener high above the planet into Earth orbit - where magnificent views, a space-walk, the re-entry and finally the celebration of a job well done bring this fanciful excursion to a rousing climax. This piece provides wonderful possibilities for cross-curricular teaching with the science department.
