Last Light (2012) - Dan Becker

for Guitar Trio
Commissioned by Mobius Trio

The last light of any phenomena is a mysterious and magical occurrence, and often just the beginning of something, not the end.  Whether it's that moment when the sun dips below the horizon, or that moment when a loved one passes from this world, very often the energy surrounding such an event increases rather than diminishes. The piece Last Light was commissioned by and written expressly for the three young men of Mobius, fantastic players all.  It is ultimately and simply a play of patterns, spinning out personal musical translations of the thoughts, emotions, and states of mind conjured up by its title. 

Approx. Duration: 9'30"
