This the last of the three \u201csymbol\u201d movements in Crumb\u2019s score, and its notation is formed beautifully into the shape of a spiral. My own take on this symbol was to envision it as a kind of supernova \u2014 an explosive event that resonates deep into the cosmos. After a quick, intense flurry of sound moving to a musical singularity of sorts, the piece shifts gears as a gentle \u201cLullaby for the Star-Child\u201d emerges, radiating outward like beams of light.<\/p>\n<p><em>Supernova<\/em> was commissioned by pianist Nic Gerpe as part of his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/makrokosmos50.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Makrokosmos 50<\/a> project.<\/p>\n<p><em>A graphic score and performance score is available for the piece.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>solo piano<br \/>\n(2022) 3&#8242;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"portfolio_category":[113],"class_list":["post-83045","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","hentry","portfolio_category-piano"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/83045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83045"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/83045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83324,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/83045\/revisions\/83324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=83045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
